- Slight fluctuations will release mammoth amounts of underground energy
- Next year we could have at least 20 serious earthquakes, scientists warn
- The most intense ones are expected to occur in tropical regions
Swarms of devastating earthquakes are set to arrive next year due to the slowing of Earth's rotation, scientists claim.
Experts warn we 'had it easy this year' with just six severe earthquakes.
Next year we could have at least 20 serious earthquakes, and the most intense ones are expected to occur in tropical regions, home to around one billion people.
Tiny changes in the speed of our planet's rotation will trigger huge seismic activity by releasing vast amounts of underground energy, experts claim - although their research has been rejected by some scientists.
The planet's rotation is slowing down because of tidal forces between Earth and the moon.
The side of Earth closest to the moon feels its pull the strongest, while the side farthest from the moon feels its gravity less.
That difference in gravitational pull stretches the Earth, which causes tidal bulges.
These bulges pull the moon closer or farther away from Earth by around 4cm per year.
The moon exerts the opposite force on them, pulling them back toward it, creating friction and slowing down the planet's rotation.
The time the Earth takes to make a complete rotation on its axis varies by about a millionth of a second per day.
While the rotational rate hasn't declined evenly, the average day has grown longer by between 15 millionths and 25 millionths of a second every year.

So, will these earthquakes be in “diverse places”?
Just curious...
I’m going to party like it’s 2018.
I warned them. Tidal hydropower would cause friction, slowing down both the earth’s rotation and bringing the moon closer. Disaster to follow!
/S
Damn! Now I have to re-calibrate my Coriolis Force meter.
And burning fossil fuels is causing this HOW, exactly??
oH NO NO NO NO, no nooo don’t tell me now they are focusing on the rotation of the earth. Don’t tell me: Too many cars are slowing it down.
So will the world’s scientists be intimidated into totally supporting or opposing this doctrine?
We await our master’s voice.... :-(
The UN in emergency session to discuss a rotation tax to fix this.
The smokestacks are releasing gases anti-rotational, thus slowing down the Earth. We must rebuild all smokestacks immediately so as to speed up the planet!
“Women and minorities hardest hit!”
STOP PLATE TETONICS NOW !!!
“Women and minorities hurt worst....”
Because we're pumping oil out of the ground, it's making the Earth lighter, making it rotate more slowly ...
See, I can make up science facts just like the Al Gore and Bill Nye ...
I'll predict zero big earthquakes for 2018, and have a better shot of being closer to the actual eventual number. Six this year, ten next year, eight in 2019 -- if earthquake prediction were gov't regulated, a bunch of earthquake predictors would be in prison, the rest would be looking for different work. Thanks 11th_VA.

because suddenly the earth will stop rotating.
Happens all the time lately...
Just in time for Al Gore and Bill Nye to collaborate on a new book about how we are so very doomed.
Bergoglio can write an encyclical about the Earth’s slowing rotation, blaming capitalism and Christians.
no, women and children and minorities will be hardest hit.
