did a search on the Internet and found that more than half of the cities in Shandong today have fish-scale clouds, which are the legendary "earthquake clouds"!
Zaozhuang
Yantai, Weihai, Weifang
Qingdao
Linyi
Qu
Jining
Laiwu
Anqiu
Rushan
there are many users said today saw a strange cloud:
> Gardenia open in season: wow, There are also in Yishui County. I got scared when I got up in the morning. It’s because everyone thinks it looks good!
>Muzi finds good goods: I also saw the abnormal weather in Qingdao today.
>Jojo_Wong Wang Qiaoqiao: Huangdao also has
> Dasha Man'er who dreams all day: Qingdao is all over the sky, I don’t know how to shoot
It can be seen from the pictures that these clouds are fish-scale, and many people consider fish-scale as the most direct criterion for judging whether they are "earthquake clouds."
Seismic cloud
is a non-meteorological cloud classification that predicts earthquakes. International research is still relatively superficial, so far there is no common view. At present, Western and Japanese academic circles hold an untrustworthy and pseudo-scientific attitude towards earthquake clouds. After all, there is no theoretical evidence that crustal movement is associated with short-term meteorological changes. Only China, Japan, Indonesia and many other folk enthusiasts explore it.
What kind of cloud is an earthquake cloud? The biggest feature of this kind of cloud lies in its "oddness", which is clearly different from ordinary clouds.
seismic clouds can be roughly divided into four types:
, the first type is a horizontal strip of cloud, which generally appears as a single cloud. This kind of cloud is very similar to the trace left by an airplane after it flies, so some people call it airplane cloud. But it is thicker and fuller. It generally indicates that the epicenter is on the vertical line of the cloud direction, and generally indicates that there will be an earthquake in 2 weeks;
The second type is a wavy or radial cloud, which generally indicates an earthquake in 1 week;
The third type is a cloud that is vertical like a tornado, or like a plume of smoke rising vertically when there is no wind, which indicates an earthquake three days later;
The fourth type is a large solid shape or a mass cloud, which generally appears in At the time of the earthquake or before the earthquake. There are five characteristics of
seismic clouds:
1, the shape is a slender strip, sometimes like a straight line, with the wake of an airplane; sometimes it is radial, with several seismic clouds intersecting at one point, like a fan bone without a fan. In the air; sometimes it has an interference pattern, resembling two rows of human ribs.
2. The boundary is clear. This point is different from the radial altocumulus cloud that appears in the evening, and it is also a few long strips of clouds extending and intersecting at one point.
3. The time of appearance is mostly early morning or evening.
4, its clouds are mostly unprovoked.
5. The color is terrible and terrifying.
"Linyi Old Xu" also gave this interpretation to the earthquake cloud that appeared in some cities in Shandong yesterday↓
Previously, some netizens po published a cloud photographed before the 8.3 magnitude earthquake in Chile↓
. The argument of “earthquake clouds” really makes sense. So the densely populated “earthquake clouds” in Shandong is really scary...
relies on “earthquake clouds” to judge whether an earthquake is about to happen, whether Is it accurate?
The first to put forward the term "earthquake cloud" was a Japanese politician, Chusaburo Kada, who was the mayor of Nara City. He saw a very strange cloud band before the 1956 Fukuoka magnitude 7 earthquake. Later, he noticed that as long as such a cloud appeared, there would be an earthquake somewhere. So he called such clouds "earthquake clouds".
However, "earthquake cloud" is almost completely absentAccepted by the mainstream scientific community, it is neither a meteorological academic term nor a geological academic term. Z2z is not so popular, and there are very few articles that refute the "earthquake cloud" seriously with scientific knowledge. In the eyes of meteorologists and seismologists, " seismic cloud" is a "legend" lacking theoretical foundation and full of folk imagination. At least has several questions to be answered.
Four questions about earthquake clouds:
1) How to verify that "earthquake clouds" are "earthquake messengers" "lurking" in ordinary clouds?
For meteorologists, those so-called "seismic clouds" belong to the category of clouds in meteorology. The generation of relevant clouds in meteorology is related to the weather system or local convective conditions, and their generation requires a lot of energy. The band-shaped "aircraft cloud" belongs to the cirrus cloud belt. Some of the radial "fan bone clouds" are several cirrus clouds and some are altocumulus clouds. The formation of this distribution is also due to the distribution of high-altitude wind fields. "rib cloud" belongs to the cloud street. Due to the organized distribution of atmospheric turbulence, horizontally extending vorticity rolls will be formed. Clouds will be formed in the ascending area and clear sky in the sinking area. There are a large number of ordinary clouds photographed in various countries on the Internet, which are indistinguishable from the so-called "earthquake clouds".
2) How to prove that there will be such a large amount of heat and magnetic field released before the earthquake, and produce high-altitude clouds?
According to the discovery of some high-temperature groundwater gushing out during an earthquake somewhere, some people believe that plate movement will release a lot of heat and water vapor. This statement is difficult to convince people, because atmospheric motion requires much more energy than people imagine. Dense automatic weather stations are observing the surface and mid-surface temperature, and there is no data to confirm that the surface temperature has been systematically increased before the earthquake, let alone the temperature increased to 6000 meters to produce a wide range of cloud bands.
About the change of electromagnetic field: The change of the earth's magnetic field is not easy. When the particles in the air are ionized, the electric potential field will release electric energy (lightning) when the electric potential reaches a certain strength. If the electromagnetic field changes to affect the distribution of the cloud, shouldn't the high-altitude discharge phenomenon be observed?
3) How does the appearance and maintenance time of "earthquake cloud" match with seismic activity?
It is said that "earthquake clouds" often appear in the morning and evening, lasting from half an hour to several hours. Sometimes an earthquake does not occur until 1 week to 2 months later. Since plate movement is releasing heat and electromagnetic fields, why hasn't it been repeated since then? If the surface of the earth releases heat, it should be day and night. Is there any night observation of "earthquake clouds"?
4) If the "earthquake cloud" is the terminal product of earthquakes, then why should we stay close and seek further?
The "seismic cloud" theory has been vague on issues ranging from surface energy to cloud shape duration. From the plate to the surface to the sky 6000 meters, too many physical processes are involved. If an "earthquake cloud" can be produced, none of these processes should be unpredictable.
Judging from the comparison between the current forecasts circulating on the Internet and the actual results, the "earthquake cloud" forecast indications are also very limited. Many of the "successful examples" of so-called "earthquake clouds" on the Internet are: "earthquake clouds" appeared in City A, and an earthquake occurred at B, which is thousands of kilometers away from A, a few days later.
In addition, "China National Geographic" has also published a related explanation on the fish scale cloud: the fish scale cloud can be regarded as one of the classic cloud species. In recent years, every time the fish scale cloud fills the sky in big cities, there are some people and even media panic. Look around for an earthquake, and call this kind of cloud "earthquake cloud." While refuting the rumors from the four places, some cloud observers sighed: "The fish scale sky, not rain, but people are crazy."
How credible is the judgment of the senior earthquake cloud researcher "Linyi Lao Xu"?
Some netizens only compared the earthquake predictions issued by "Linyi Laoxu" from January to July 2015 with the actual number of earthquakes, and found that:
he predicted the mainland of China from January 1 to June 30, 2015 There have been at least 10 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher, but in fact only one earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher has occurred. Sichuan and Yunnan, which he often mentioned, have not had earthquakes of magnitude 5.6 or higher.
Seeing this, do you think the so-called "earthquake cloud" is actually not as scary as you imagined?
For those who use the "earthquake cloud" to create tension...
