what other possible events might occur along with the earthquake that may endanger my life how will I be warn?

You won't be warned.  The earth will just start moving.  The danger isn't the earthquake.  The dangers are the things that fall on you, the fires that burn after (assuming gas lines or electricity or some source of fire and fuel).

I'd say the chances are really good. There was a 3.1 earthquake on May 06, 2006 about 20 miles SW of Trinidad, Colorado (190 miles south of Denver).\n\nBetween August 28 and September 21, 2001 there was a swarm of 12 measuring from 2.8 to 4.6 near Trinidad.

the tectonic plates that shift happen  underground, if your lucky to see a plate shift at ground level your truly lucky, these plate shifts cause earthquakes so please be careful.

Get out with your family members and pets if at all possible.  Call 911 from a neighbors.  Lives are more important than saving a structure.

Keep a selection of canned goods, Bottled water, candles, Flashlights, a basic first aid kit, dry clothing and blankets. Allow enough for 5 days for the whole family and add enough for an extra person so as you wont go short. Also some cash as teller machines could be out for a while. Other than that Things are specific for each type of disaster. (you need other things for a earthquake than for a tidal wave or volcanic explosion.

is this what your talking about\n\n\nAn earthquake is a phenomenon that results from and is powered by the sudden release of stored energy that radiates seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground and sometimes tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property.\n\nEarthquakes may occur naturally or as a result of human activities. In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves\n\nEarth (often referred to as "The Earth") is the third planet in the solar system in terms of distance from the Sun, and the fifth in order of size. It is the largest of its planetary system's terrestrial planets and the only place in the universe currently known to support life. The Earth was formed around 4.57 billion (4.57×109)[1] years ago (see Age of the Earth) and its largest natural satellite, the Moon, was orbiting it shortly thereafter, around 4.533 billion years ago.\n\nSince it formed, the Earth has evolved through geologic and biological processes so that any traces of the original conditions have been virtually eliminated. The outer surface is divided into several tectonic plates that gradually migrate across the surface over geologic time spans. The interior of the planet remains active, with a thick layer of molten mantle and an iron core that generates a magnetic field. The atmospheric conditions have been significantly altered by the presence of life forms, which create an ecological balance that modifies the surface conditions. About 70% of the surface is presently covered in salt water oceans, and the remainder consists of continents and islands.\n\nThere is significant interaction between the Earth and the space environment. The relatively large Moon provides ocean tides and has gradually modified the length of the planet's rotation period. A cometary bombardment during the early history of the planet is believed to have formed the oceans. Later, asteroid impacts are understood to have caused significant changes to the surface environment. Changes in the orbit of the planet may also be responsible for the ice ages that have covered significant portions of the surface in glacial sheets.\n\nThe Earth does not have another natural orbiting body other than the Moon, although Cruithne has been erroneously described as such. Cruithne was discovered in 1986 and follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun at about the same average orbital radius as the Earth. However, from the point of view of the moving Earth, Cruithne follows a horseshoe orbit around the Sun that avoids close proximity with the Earth.

Just be careful and don't go somewhere, where you are not safe. Be careful

I was always told to stand in a doorway.  I grew up in Alaska and experienced many quakes.  I never lived in an apartment complex.  I would definately stay off the stair and/or elevator once the earthquake began.  Do you have an earthquake survival kit?  It might be good idea to put one together if you don't.

There was a PBS program 'Nature', just aired a couple of weeks ago, about whether animals can predict nature disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. Whether animals can predict earthquakes is not conclusive. But there's a scientist in Berkeley (forgot his name) claimed he had predicted earthquakes accurately in the last few decades. What he used was simply newspaper ads on missing pets. He said normally you'd see about 10-15 missing pets ads, but before earthquakes, the missing pets ads would increase. His theory is contraversial, but it's worth a try. You may want to test that theory. \n\nThe program also mentioned about the terrible tsunami in Asia over a year ago. It mentioned none of the animals got harmed since they 'knew' the waves were coming and escaped from the disaster. \n\nOne theory is that animals can hear low frequency sound from beneath the earth, like grinding sound of moving rocks. \n\nAnyway, you'll find some interesting programs on PBS stations.

Extremely unlikely. I've never heard of any man made earthquakes.

Natural disaster...tornado, earthquake, etc.

G'day bb,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThere are tsunami warning systems in place consisting of sensors to detect a tsunami and communications to warn those in harms way. A warning system has been in place since 1967 in the Pacific.\n\nUnfortunately, a similar system wasn't put in place in the Indian Ocean until after the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 with moves now being made to set up such a system. No system can help if the earthquake causing the tsunami occurs just offshore as in the Hokkaido tsunami of 1993 when the tsunami hit no more than five minutes after the earthquake\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

an earthquake happens when tectonic plates move\n\nmountains happen when tectonic plates overlap

You really need to read the Bible and maybe even attend a Bible study of some kind. Start reading in the New Testament, starting with Matthew. If you want to skip ahead to The Revelation, it will tell all. There will be no warning. The first thing that will happen is the rapture, when Jesus comes and takes all the believers and those who are saved. Only the ones who are taken by Jesus will see him. All the rest that they call "left behind" will not see Jesus, but instead they will notice milloins of people around them disappear. Then will come the earthquakes, and all the rest that it says in The Revelation. Now you asked what you must do to be prepared. Well, that just all depends on if you want to be one of the ones taken by Jesus or if you want to be left behind.\n\nIf you want to be one of the chosen ones taken by Jesus, you must first repent your sins to God, then you must accept Jesus as your saviour. There is a prayer to this that you can say also. When you repent your sins and accept Jesus you have to mean it with all your heart, as God knows everyones heart. You can even go to a Christian minister who can help you get saved. After this you have to live the right way and by God's ways. It will all just happen if you are sincere.\n\nNow, if you don't want to be taken by Jesus, all you have to do is nothing, but you will suffer with an anti-Christ ruling the world for 7 years and it will be pure misery. \n\nWatch all the movies called "Left Behind". There are 3 of them. The first one called "The Movie", the second is "Tribulation Force" and the third is "World at War" Watch them in that order. These are movies based on what they took out of the Bible of how it will be during that time. It will help you understand it more.\nGood luck and God Bless

It's definitely a scary experience.  Let me share a short story with you...\n\nI used to live in California.  Growing up in Cali allowed me to go through numerous earthquakes of varying degree.  When my sister and I were younger, she used to FREAK OUT when one would strike.  I was scared too, but had to be strong for the both of us.  When she got married, she and her husband experienced a 4.1 earthquake together.  He had never felt one before so when this earthquake hit, he FREAKED out and guess what?  My sister was strong for him!  That's how she overcame earthquakes.  My recommendation to you is: BE STRONG.  STAY CALM.  Find a safe spot to keep away from falling debris.\n\nGod Bless!
