Step-by-step explanation:

An earthquake is a sudden disturbance within the earth crust which causes a rapid movement.

Earthquake prediction is of primary concern to seismologist that regularly study and monitor patterns of earth movements.

If earthquakes can be predicted months before time,

  • It can lead dire economic and social implications in that people will be forced to leave their homes and means of livelihood.
  • It can lead to loss of cultural items of a people in a locality.
  • In case the earthquake does not occur, it can create a negative attitude towards science.
