  • Predicting earthquakes and volcanic eruptions!
    • Difficulties
      • we don't know:
        • when it will happen
        • where it will happen exactly
        • how big it will be
        • how many people live in that area
        • what other impacts it may have
    • what can help us to predict them?
      • We need to look out for:
        • birds and animals moving away from the area
        • an increase in gas emissions
        • soil temperature increase
        • swelling volcano
        • increase in smaller earthquakes
        • Water in ponds getting warmer
