In March, the world may experience a new major earthquake, said Dutch seismologist Frank Hougerbits. His forecast was published on its website by the scientific organization Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), in which he works.
According to the seismologist, strong seismic activity, and possibly a “mega-earthquake”, may occur on March 3-4 or March 6-7 and affect Kamchatka, the Kuril Islands, Japan and other regions.
A megaquake is an earthquake that occurs at broken tectonic plate boundaries when one plate in that zone collides with another. This type of earthquake is the most powerful on the planet and has a magnitude greater than 9.
Previously, Hugerbits predicted the recent devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Three days before the first aftershocks, he wrote on social networks that “sooner or later in this region (south and central part of Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon) an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 will occur.”
Recall that as a result of the earthquakes that began on February 6, more than 45 thousand people died in Turkey. Almost 10,000 aftershocks were recorded after the first earthquake.
