In this article, we explore the top ten cities most prone to earthquakes, including Tokyo, La Serena, and Cuilapa. We discuss the vital role of seismologists and advanced technologies, such as seismographs and NASA's satellite innovations, in detecting seismic activity. By analyzing past earthquake data, we shed light on future predictions, focusing particularly on Tokyo, Japan, as a major area of concern. Understanding the dynamic nature of earthquakes allows us to prepare better and mitigate risks in vulnerable regions around the world.

Earthquake Hit List By: Jordan H. and Ava M.
Our Top Ten • 1. Tokyo, Japan • 2. La Serena, Chile • 3. Cuilapa, Guatemala • 4. Jacmel, Haiti • 5. Manta, Ecuador • 6. San Juan, Puerto Rico • 7. San Jose, Costa Rica • 8. Mexico City, Mexico • 9.Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic • 10. Leh, India
Seismology • Seismologists use seismographs to detect earthquakes that happen all over the world. Also, NASA is starting to develop satellite technology to find earthquakes.
The Next Earthquake • Here is where we think the next earthquake will occur: • Tokyo, Japan • Why: Because there has been many Earthquakes near here over the years. This area is also being carefully watched by seismologists.
What we learned • We learned that earthquakes happen all around the world. • Very often, earthquakes happen close to one another. • All earthquake data can help us determine future earthquakes. • Where to watch for earthquakes in the future.
Factors that influence prediction • Data from previous earthquakes • Plate Boundaries • Fault lines
Where do most earthquakes strike • Japan • South America • Eurasia • Africa
