| Re: How Earthquakes Are Triggered Yes, Michael, I have heard about the earthquake in England the other day - and yes, these earthquakes are quite rare there and usually of rather small magnitude. Also, yes, they have the same trigger mechanism as larger earthquakes in the rest of the world, only the main extraterrestrial forces at the exact time of the earthquake point in different directions. That's why I can claim that earthquakes can be predicted with appropriate complex calculations if the orientation of the local tectonics are known. Thanks for your questions. Regards, S.P. |
