Earthquake prediction.

The earthquake last year in Japan shocked everyone in Japan and left everyone unprepared. 15,000 people ended up dead. Scientists believe that an earthquake of the same 9 magnitude will happen in North America in the near future. They have been monitoring a fault that has seemed to be quiet for a while now. But it has actually been losing more and more layers which is what will cause the earthquake. Scientists are not sure when this will happen but they are seeing more and more changes with the fault. The only think we can do is wait and keep ourselves updated on the new news on the moving rock. I think it is scary to think about but if we keep ourselves informed, we will be able to be prepared for it.
