To what extent can very large earthquakes be predicted

Scientists have tried lots of different ways of predicting earthquakes, but none have been successful. They haven't been able to find a signal for earthquakes( there is no obvious sign to say that an earthquake is coming very soon). They do have a pretty good idea of where an earthquake is most likely to hit, but they still can't predict exactly when it will happen.

However, the probability of a future earthquake can be calculated, based on scientific data. Scientists estimate that the probability of a major earthquake occurring in the San Francisco Bay area over the next 30 years is 67%.

the water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. the sunlight warms the water by its heat. water is then cooled down and condensation takes place. the water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.

explanation:

here is the answer

water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on earths surface. once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
