According to the research the number of earthquakes is increasing with in years. The recent earthquakes in haiti,chile and tukey has created a great loss.As it’s been said that more and more people live in quake prone areas, so the earthquake mostly hit the population areas.
They also say that where there is a big earthquake its more likely that in that place more earthquakes will occur.They named them “after shocks.” The prediction tells that where the next earthquake can occur.
Some researchers are exploring the idea that melting ice and sea-level rise is changing the weight bearing down on faults, such that they might be more prone to making earthquakes. So far as I have seen this is in the realm of research, and an effect has not been solidly demonstrated.
effects of melting glaciers on volcanoes is also being studied. I am not aware of any way in which geomagnetic storms could affect earthquakes, and they would certainly have no effect on plate movements, as those are driven by slow motions in the earth’s deep mantle.
and we believe they were related through stress. When this is observed we refer to “earthquake triggering.”
There has been a lot of study of animals and earthquakes, and far more anecdotal reports of weird animal behavior, but nobody has yet managed to demonstrate a link.
