Prediction Methods
Earthquake prediction, as a branch of seismology, is an immature science in the sense that it cannot predict from first principles the location, date, and magnitude of an earthquake. Research in this area therefore seeks a reliable basis for predictions in either empirically derived precursors, or some kind of trend or pattern.

Famous quotes containing the words prediction and/or methods:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
