Original Note:
There is no scientific basis for earthquake prediction. Earthquakes are always possible in places like Indonesia, but specific predictions perform no better than random when tested. The "predicted" areas here are some of the most seismically active parts of the world. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-you-predict-earthquakes https://scienceexchange.caltech.edu/topics/earthquakes/earthquakes-probabilities https://pnsn.org/outreach/faq/earthquake-prediction https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2019/predicting-next-big-earthquake/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/kz4jyz/earthquake-conspiracy-theorists-are-wreaking-havoc-during-emergencies
