LOW COST EQ FORECASTING - MOON INDUCED QUAKES!
Posted by R.Shanmugasundaram on October 18, 2001 at 18:35:22:

Hi every one!

Last time I have given my predictions as follows:

NORTH EAST INDIA-NEPAL-BENGAL-HARYANA (REGION 1) AND / OR PHILIPPINES-JAPAN-MANGOLIA-
INDONESIAN ISL.MAY EXPERIENCE 5+M QUAKE WITHIN 48 TO 130 HOURS FROM 10 AM ON 15 OCT.2001.

STRESS ACCUMULATION CONTINOUS OVER MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND SOUTHERN INDIA NOTICED.
MAY LEAD DEPRESSION OVER SEA.

Though my first part of prediction is taking its own time, the second part of my prediction
came true by release of stress over Mediterranean Sea area as follows: (From EMSC report)

2001/10/18 18:06:58.3 33.1N 18.8E Mb6.0 A! SED CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN SEA

I believed that the excess stress over Mediterranean sea released in the form of
quake rather than forming depression over sea. I believed that this is
another Moon induced quake for the last new moon on 16.10.2001. (Details are given below)


Please note that Southern India may also be disturbed on the same time but the platetectonics
under Southern India was considered very strong there was no result so far. Usually occurs
minor quakes over Central or in Southern India. So if any results come across I will keep you
inform.

I have categorized that there are 3 forces acting on earth for triggering earthquakes.

1. Strong sun flare activity which affects the electromagnetic field of the earth and the
vibration of the earth transferred to liquid lava inside to earth and activate the
platetectonics.

2. Planetary movement near the earth (during orbital rotation) that also change the magnetic
field of the earth as given above. Here Moon is playing an important role comparing other
planets.

3. Self rotational motion of the earth which accumulates stress over a period and suddenly
released on one day because of the above 2 reasons.


Apart from the sun flare activity days, during New Moon and Full Moon periods (usually one
day before or two days after the moon comes to Zero degree with Sun and the Earth) high
intensity quakes were occurred which you may refer in the following table:

If you analysis in a lenient way, during Lunar eclipse period the intensity of the quake
was high. (item No.8 and 19). I consider that the earthquake occurred normally around 48
hours (on an average) after getting disturbed by external forces depending upon the viscosity
of the place. Many things to discuss. So leave it to you all.

Apologise for long letter and poor English. But please try to catch my point.
