Science
behind
earthquake
prediction
and
warning
systems
is
often
unreliable
Educated_guesses:
Many
seismologists
now
say
earthquakes ("
and
thus
Tsunamis')
can
never
be
predicted
because
the
earth's crust
is
profoundly heterogeneous.
Any
small
quake
("
Wave
")
has
some
probability
of
cascading
into
a
large
event
.
Whether
a
small
one
grows
into
a
large
one
or
dissipates
depends
on
many
fine
details
of
physical
conditions
in
fractured
earth
.
