California doesn’t just “have earthquakes” — it sits on one of the most active geological boundaries on Earth. That’s why earthquakes here are not rare events. They are part of how the Earth constantly adjusts and releases built-up pressure beneath the surface. To...

Short answer: No — earthquakes cannot be predicted with exact time and location. But that doesn’t mean scientists are completely in the dark. They can identify high-risk areas, estimate probabilities, and even provide a few seconds of warning before strong shaking...
