The long periodicity of the earthquake cycle suggests that small uncertainties in forecasting time (e.g., 1% error) translate to several years versus a few hours in the case of hurricane forecasts.

The magnitude-7.0 earthquake that shook Port-au-Prince, Haiti, two years ago nearly demolished the city and took both residents and geologists by surprise.

As contact areas change during the earthquake cycle, they affect multiple measurable properties including electrical conductivity, hydraulic permeability and seismic wave transmission.
