Is it possible to predict earthquakes? No, but there are seismic precursors that can at least give us indications on the areas most at risk and on the time frame in which there is a greater probability of witnessing a seismic event. For example, an anomaly could be a seismic quiescence in a defined seismic area which is normally affected with a certain frequency by earthquakes. Changes in radon gas content in deep well water or changes in water levels in wells can also be precursors. In this article we delve deeper into the topic.
