Two researchers at the University of Colorado said that the Earth's anterior speed decreases in orbit. The world is going to face a tremendous earthquake next year.
The magnitude of the earthquake has increased around the world in every 32 years. The reason is that every five years in the orbit decreases a little bit of the Earth's eccentric speed.
According to US scientists, the number of earthquakes will increase significantly in the next year. Their claim, earthquake activity has a relation with the speed of Earth's rotation. Severe earthquake increases if the speed of the rotation decreases. Earthquake increases after 5 years of low speed rotation. Accordingly, the forecast for more earthquakes will start in 2018. Based on their interview given to two American scientists and British daily Observer, the Guardian report has given such an insight.
The Guardian report says that the velocity of the Earth's rotation is very small, and it changes very little in the length of the day.
Last month, researcher Roger Bilham of Colorado University and researcher of Montana University Rebecca Benedict brought the connection between Earth's rotation and earthquake activity. The research report was presented at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America. Last week, Observer Benedict said: "There is a strong connection of earthquake activity with Earth's rotation. Analysis of this connection shows that the number of intense earthquakes will increase next year. '
In the study, the 7 or more magnitude earthquakes that have been felt since 1900 have been analyzed by Bilham and Benedict. In this regard, Bilham said, "The large earthquake information that was felt for more than a century was well recorded, it has been very helpful in our research. '
They have found 5 episodes of large earthquakes that have been more than any other time. Bilaham said, "The epicenter shows that 25 to 30 intense earthquakes have occurred annually. During the rest of the year, there were about 15 major earthquakes.
Researchers have tried to find relationships between this severe earthquake activity and other factors. They discovered that when the Earth's rotation decreases slightly, the epicenter of the severe earthquake occurs.
Bilhum and Benedict argued that the speed of the Earth's rotation has decreased several times in the last few years for nearly five and a half centuries. And after these times the number of intense earthquakes increased.
Researchers say that the current period of the Earth's rotation began more than four years ago. As a result, more earthquakes are expected next year. Billeham said, "Only six strong earthquakes have been felt in the world this year. There may be 20 big earthquakes in the year of the year beginning in 2018. '
With the decreasing of the length of the day, the exact cause of the earthquake connection key is yet to be known. However, scientists believe that it is the effect of behavioral change in the interior of the Earth.
