Amazing.
I hope they are continuing to study this and perhaps they will learn enough to be able to implement some warning system.
...the databases contain data from more than 3,000 earthquakes. Consistent indicators of displacement acceleration that surface between 10-20 seconds into events were seen for 12 major earthquakes occurring in 2003-2016.
See, now, *that's* hilarious.
The title is kind of misleading. It sounded like scientists have found indications of an imminent mega-quake, but the article is more general than that, just talking about advances in earthquake monitoring.
Artificial intelligence would be really good at finding out stuff like this.
If the much feared “megaquake” strikes California or if Yosemite blows up, early warning won’t do much good.
20 seconds isn’t enough time to place a Vegas bet on the odds of an earthquake happening.
This kind of scare tactic Bullshit has been spouted out for a long, long time.
Since the Indonesia 9.0, there have been major earthquakes on nearly active fault surrounding the Ring of Fire other than:
Cascadia Subduction Zone
California Hayward-San Andres.
The quake in Napa-Sonoma and activity in The Geysers area is a small indicator of something building.
Still no real indicators of anything serious but there wasn’t any before ‘89 or Northridge.
Personally, I’m thinking Cascadia is next
These results are nothing.
I have been successful 100% of the time in predicting the lottery numbers the day after each draw.
Booya! Beat that you brainiacs. :)
Preceded by a kiloquake?
It’s the bees (they know).
