We think the next big earthquake will occur in Italy. We think the next big earthquake will occur in Italy because there has not been a big earthquake there in a while.

There are a lot of factors that influence earthquake prediction. One factor that matters is where this earthquake is related to the fault line. It could also matter based on the pattern of the earthquakes around that area.

Most of the biggest earthquakes occur in the ring of fire.

1. We have learned that there are many tools that you can use to predict where earthquakes can be. 2. We have also learned that there is a big place called the ring of fire, which is where most of the big earthquakes occur. 3. We have also learned that earthquakes can range from a scale of (Ten being the strongest) and you can normally not feel an earthquake that is less than 5.0
