Add to ORKGThis site contains information about paleoseismology. In the world of earthquakes, 'ancient' translates to before the 20th century and before instruments were used to record earthquakes. The article takes a look at how paleoseismologists study the sediment around faults to help predict future earthquakes. It covers what faults are and the role they play in earthquakes, how paleoseismologists use sediment evidence to reconstruct a site's earthquake history, how they determine a dig location, and the level of earthquake forecasting they are able to achieve.
