The Netherlands-based Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS) gained notoriety for foreseeing a significant earthquake in Pakistan within the next 48 hours.
The Dutch scientist who works for SSGEOS has a history of accurately forecasting earthquakes, most notably the powerful quake that struck Turkey earlier this year and claimed the lives of over 47,000 people.
According to the scientist’s most recent forecast, there has been a significant increase in electric activity along the Chaman fault lines, raising the possibility of a strong earthquake within the next 48 hours.
According to the article, changes in the electric charge in the atmosphere close to sea level have been seen, and the region bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan may soon experience major tremors.
Furthermore, it stated that there is presently no accurate means to pinpoint the precise sites and that the defined areas are simply approximations.
For the benefit of our readers, the Chaman fault system, which runs through the South Asian country, is the greatest fault line in the area. Major earthquakes occurred throughout the belt, and one in May 1935 killed a large number of people.
The Pakistan Metrological (Met) Department has not responded to the earthquake forecasts and rumours that have the public in a frenzy.
In prior instances, PMD rejected such statements, claiming that earthquake predictions lack a scientific basis.
Due to its location in a seismically active area, Pakistan is a nation that is susceptible to earthquakes. There were a number of large earthquakes caused by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate.
