You seem to be agreeing with me - nobody can guess when an earthquake will strike. So there is no point discussing the potential dangers of "setting off the alarm" since there is no way anyone can possibly know when to set the alarm, which sort of kills the point of having an alarm. As to "where" - earthquakes are tectonic plates rubbing up against each other and breaking in parts because they can't take the pressure of one continent against another anymore. That generally occurs along already identified fault lines. And that's why big earthquakes MOVE ALONG the length of fault lines, hence making it possible to predict where the next one will strike. I don't mind talking about this all day, but my guess is that we are boring the others. Send me a private post if you wish to continue this discussion, and if you like, I could provide you with links and examples. Now, if you don't mind, I have a market to short :)
