After conducting a scientific experiment yesterday, NASA employees came to the conclusion that in the next three years, residents of Los Angeles will fear the strongest earthquake.
Moreover, its magnitude can be from five points or more, and the probability is so high that space agency scientists even called a fantastic figure of 99 percent.
Not only the metropolis itself will suffer from the earthquake, but also its surroundings, since the radius of the cataclysm can spread to one hundred kilometers and even more than that.
Recall that the stress of the earth’s crust in the Los Angeles area scientists have long been watched by scientists, even before the NASA experiment, workers United States Geological Survey conducted their surveys California for a possible (approaching) earthquake. In their opinion, its probability does not exceed 85 percent, although the epicenter of a possible cataclysm will fall precisely in Los Angeles.
Different methods and approaches in predicting earthquakes with the sides of the two US departments, as you see, give different results. Geological exploration builds them on the basis of special maps and computer simulations, while NASA is using navigation instruments and radars.
Note that more recently, nuclear engineer Mehran Keshe (University of London) predicted that October 17 this year the strongest earthquake will happen between South and North America, which could kill more than forty million human. But … the prophecy was empty. First, as they say clairvoyant, modern scientific forecasts are very approximate – it’s almost the same as predicting the weather for a month forward. Secondly, even the predictions of great prophets are not always come true as events in the universe go along multivariate scenario. Therefore the probability of an earthquake in Los angeles is actually much lower than stated and The United States Geological Survey, and even more so, NASA.
