Latest report recently reported that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan Province. After this earthquake, there were continuous aftershocks in Xi'an and Lanzhou, and this earthquake would be felt in many provinces such as Sichuan. After the earthquake, everyone sent blessings online. The rumor of earthquake cloud that was previously proposed was once again revealed by netizens. Many people said that this strange earthquake cloud is indeed a very clear precursor to the earthquake that has occurred now, and this statement actually existed a long time ago, but at that time, earthquake clouds were not able to be used as an effective basis for measuring earthquakes. Now that the earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou, many people will say that they have seen earthquake clouds before. In fact, what we need to do now is to keep our minds clear, not believe rumors, and pray for the people in the earthquake zone. As for whether this strange earthquake cloud really exists, let scientists answer the secrets for you.
earthquake clouds were actually just a folk legendary phenomenon at the beginning. So far, there is no prediction of such earthquake clouds. Earthquake research means that earthquake clouds are not actually real, and they cannot effectively predict the occurrence of earthquakes. In fact, earthquake clouds are just some cloud phenomena that seem strange. If you search the earthquake source on the Internet, you can see many pictures of earthquake clouds of different shapes, such as some radial or translucent shapes, etc. This strange appearance is suspected to be a strange phenomenon among the people, especially in the morning or evening when the sun shines, this strange natural phenomenon is more likely to occur in the sky.
In fact, earthquake clouds should have been first proposed in 1624. At that time, Italian missionaries wrote a book about earthquakes called Earthquake Interpretation, which detailed records of these earthquake clouds that appeared in different periods. However, these statements are just folk statements and have not been scientifically verified. However, it was later promoted in Japan, mainly because Japanese mayor Tadasaburo Yasuda began to promote this theory of earthquake clouds since the 1940s. At that time, he observed a strange cloud in the sky, and predicted that an earthquake might occur. As a result, a huge earthquake really occurred in Japan in the past two days, and this statement was widely recognized by the people.
And earthquake clouds were also a relatively recognized era in China in the 1980s. This is mainly because China was basically in an era of incomplete development at that time, so the general public hoped to find a way to accurately predict earthquakes. Especially after Tangshan earthquake , the whole country was almost in fear and grief. Therefore, at that time, the theory of earthquake clouds spread widely in China's solemnity.
As the enthusiasm among the people continues to rise, China has also established a special earthquake cloud research association, but the statement of this earthquake cloud has not been recognized by the scientific community since then. Some professionals in the scientific community and meteorological aspects directly reject this theory. The geological exploration and research department of the United States clearly stated that in fact, this earthquake prediction has no inevitable connection with the occurrence of an earthquake. The China Meteorological Administration has also made a clear statement that there is no sufficient evidence to prove that there is an inherently inevitable connection between the earthquake and the emergence of such seismic clouds.
Although this earthquake cloud is not recognized in the scientific community, the theory of earthquake cloud now has broad room for development among the people. So far, many people still believe that this earthquake cloud is an effective precursor to the occurrence of earthquakes, and some civilian earthquake experts also believe that this earthquake cloud can predict the occurrence of earthquakes.
In fact, in the early days, earthquake clouds were first proposed, mainly divided into three categories. However, after the 1980s, with the continuous opposition of the scientific community, the statement of this kind of earthquake cloud was gradually replaced. Until now, the so-called earthquake clouds among the people have been mentioned again, and there are more and more different categories.
However, some earthquake cloud experts in the public are trying to propose some theoretical basis to prove the scientific nature of this earthquake cloud, such as the more common heat theory, that is, when an earthquake occurs, the earthquake occurs when geothermal heat gathers in a ground array, the strong force of rocks in the earthquake zone produces mutual friction, which will produce a large amount of heat, and these heats overflow from the surface, and as the air continues to rise, this kind of earthquake cloud will be formed.
Although these statements sound professional, they cannot withstand scientific verification and professional scrutiny. Nowadays, various monitoring instruments are densely covered with various monitoring instruments from the surface to the sky. No matter what abnormal movement occurs in the surface or the sky, they will be accurately monitored. If a large amount of heat really emerges from the surface and gathers into the sky before the earthquake, then these instruments cannot be unable to monitor it. Therefore, the statement of seismic clouds is actually not reliable.
