The earthquake occurred in a region within which major north–south, right-lateral, strike-slip faults had been previously mapped, and the epicenter is near the previously mapped, north–south oriented Bam Fault. However, field investigations will be necessary to find if the earthquake occurred on the Bam Fault or on another.
The "Parkfield earthquake prediction experiment" was the most heralded scientific earthquake prediction ever. [ 186 ] [ t ] It was based on an observation that the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas Fault [ u ] breaks regularly with a moderate earthquake of about M 6 every several decades: 1857, 1881, 1901, 1922, 1934, and 1966.

Kagan & Knopoff (1987, p. 1563) define prediction (in part) "to be a formal rule where by the available space-time-seismic moment manifold of earthquake occurrence is significantly contracted ...."</ref> [2] Both forecasting and prediction of earthquakes are distinguished from earthquake warning systems, which, upon detection of an earthquake ...
The prediction is based on research done by dozens of scientists and engineers using seismic studies, historical geological data and new information to identify nearly 500 additional fault lines ...
A YouTube personality claimed he was contacted by a spirit, which revealed to him that a catastrophic earthquake that Nostradamus predicted would occur on May 28 in California at a 9.8 magnitude.
Prediction of earthquakes with this method is based on the detection, recording and evaluation of seismic electric signals or SES. These electrical signals have a fundamental frequency component of 1 Hz or less and an amplitude the logarithm of which scales with the magnitude of the earthquake. [20]
In response to his prediction of an earthquake in California in 2005, US Geological Survey has said: "The work of the Keilis-Borok team is a legitimate approach to earthquake prediction research. However, the method is unproven, and it will take much additional study, and many additional trial predictions, before it can be shown whether it ...
However, insofar as a verifiable prediction would require a publicly stated announcement of the location, time, and size of an impending event before its occurrence, neither Quakefinder nor Heraud have yet verifiably predicted an earthquake, much less issued multiple predictions of the type that might be objectively testable for statistical ...
