Lowell,

I am grateful to you for putting the Item 1 for open discussion and hope it will
create healthy development in predicting the quake in the right direction rather
than existing probability treatment for finding quakes.

Actually this was the spark in mind while reading some notes on the board some
days ago.

Item No.2
---------
Regarding my doubt under Item No.2 was very clearly defined by you. Why I made this
doubt is because I am thinking the cause of earthquake in a different way like this:

Earth is got self-rotation and moving around the sun in an elliptical path. Every day
it come across many hurdles from Sun like sun flare activity, comes under other planet
influence say like Moon while new moon and full moon day also other planets influence
and accumulating stress during self-rotation. Naturally these forces affecting
the atmosphere (spoil ozone layer etc) and crust of the earth (create tidal wave etc.,).
Above all I strongly believe that the huge amount of molten lava inside the earth also
get activated for every such hurdle. So the activated liquid lava on which the earth
plates were located get disturbed and hence the plate movement. Depending upon the
size of hurdles lava influence the plate and develop stress at different location of
the plates. I was correct upto this level and now I got the right
answer for the triggering mechanism from your explanation.

Item No.3:
---------
In my past experience, I have registered some strong reading usually ended with quakes
was not occurred. While watching the weather condition I surprisingly noted some sudden
rainfall. Flood at Bangladesh during 1999, which killed hundreds of people, coincides with
my reading for a strong quake expected over the region. Many occasions I experienced this
and I came to the following conclusion.

While strain released over sea area by way of lifting the plate under the sea automatically
reduce the distance between the normal sea level and the atmosphere not only make the
pressure difference over the area but also create more vaporisation and sudden cloud
formation with ended with rain within two days period. Interestingly this activity
was not registered by the local Meteorology centers and announcing unexpected rain for
that season.

During the past very rarely I have registered some readings, which was ended with
heavy storms over Orissa, India and I again confirmed the same in the subsequent year.

Item No.1 is remains open for discussion and hope it will fire soon.

Many many thanks Lowell to wash off my doubts.
