There will definately be a "big earthquake" in the future.


> If yes then can u predict that how many days it will take ?

Sometime in the future. Charles Richter once said about predicting earthquakes, "the further you get from the last on, the closer you get to the next one".

Answer 2

It is not possible to predict the occurence of big earthquakes from the small ones. As of now, there is no model accuate enough for such predictions.

Answer 3

that is a good question. there isnt a mangier quake at that stage. if you recall the quake from '99 to 2000, from turkey and then in Athens, that was a maingier quake for the hundred years. if you study the history of the earthquake, then you will know it will come in the next 100 years. you try it out for yourself.

Answer 4

of course there's a possibility of occurence of big earthquakes from small ones.. when a land have a crack already, it can start from there, remember, big things comes from small ones...
