Some deep-sea earthquakes send out early-warning signals, seismologists say

Research published in Nature shows theoretical feasibility of quake forecasting

Earthquakes along a set of fault lines in the Pacific Ocean emit small "foreshocks" that can be used to forecast the main tremor, according to research in the March 24 issue of Nature.
It is the first demonstration that some types of large imminent earthquakes may be systematically predictable on time scales of hours or less.
Statistically reliable forecasting of imminent quakes has been an elusive goal for seismologists.
