It turned out that the moon did not help predict the earthquake

Sooner or later there will be an earthquake happening right on the full moon. And that's when legends about the moon's relationship and earthquake will rise.

According to the latest scientific research, the hypotheses about strong earthquakes that occur in the moon's cycle have no scientific basis. Susan Hough, a scientist at US Geological Survey, has been diligently researching all documents on more than 200 earthquakes of 8 or more Richter levels over the past 400 years. And in a paper published on Seimological Research Letters, she pointed out that there is no relationship between earthquakes and the moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

A previous study showed that the tide - which is affected by the moon - could have an impact on earthquakes. However, Susan pointed out: "If you read carefully, the author has been very careful when making such conclusions. They never claim that the collected data can be used to predict earthquakes because the relationships between them are very small ".

The moon does not help

happens due to the movement of the earth's crust into tectonic plates These arrays can move smoothly or stuck. When trapped, they tend to accumulate energy and then release to solve the problem, thereby creating vibrations on the surface that we call earthquakes. Throughout its history, scientists have tried to predict earthquakes. However today it is still an impossible task.

Therefore, there are new research directions such as using strange behaviors of animals to forecast earthquakes. However, the unusual actions of weasels or snakes before the earthquake time before have not been scientifically recorded (although some researchers have begun to pay attention to this).

Ned Field, a USGS geography researcher, answered on The Verge last year: "People began to consider animal reactions to earthquakes. They were really strange, even their dogs. me too, we always remember what is left after the earthquake, but sometimes it is random or nothing clear to be sure of predicting an earthquake ".

There is currently no way for people to predict earthquakes.

Now Susan asserts that the moon's cycle cannot predict major earthquakes. According to her research, there was no connection between the two events. Her post is titled "Whether or not strong earthquakes (from 8 on the Richter scale or more) often occur in the annual cycle or the moon?". And with her research and data, she simply answered "no".

Although Susan did not exceed expectations, she also commented: "Sooner or later there will be an earthquake right away. And that is when the legend of the relationship between the moon and the earthquake will rise. Hope that will motivate people to study and point out the problem. "
