The goal of earthquake prediction is to give warning of potentially damaging earthquakes early enough to allow appropriate response to the disaster, enabling people to minimize loss of life and property. The U.S. Geological Survey conducts and supports research on the likelihood of future earthquakes.

Though this is not earthquake prediction, the data is giving scientists better ideas of where earthquakes are going to occur in the future, and can help people prepare for the eventual earthquake. Predicting earhquakes is not yet possible for scientists to do, but they hope that they will one day find a way.

Predicting the next major earthquake may depend more on finding quiet ground than on listening for rumbles and shakes. ... New research shows that periods of "seismic quiescence"---times when there are far fewer small earthquakes in an area than normal---sometimes precede the world's strongest and most damaging earthquakes.
