Increased Discussion on Earthquakes: A Matter of Perspective
Professor Chokri Yaich, a specialist in geology and earth sciences, has provided insight into the intensified discussions on earthquakes this year, clarifying that this does not necessarily reflect an increase in their frequency. According to him, this phenomenon is mainly related to the expansion of media coverage and the rapid dissemination of information through social networks.
Earth's Energy Phase and Geological Changes
During his intervention on Express Fm, Yaich explained that the Earth has been going through a high-energy phase in its galactic orbit since last year, which could explain the growing scientific interest in geological changes on the planet.
Japan's Unique Situation
The professor also detailed the situation in Japan, a country located at the intersection of four tectonic plates, where earthquakes occur due to the accumulation of pressure and energy that is released in the form of seismic vibrations. He added that tsunamis form directly after a strong underwater earthquake.
Japan's Preparedness
Yaich recalled that Japan recorded an earthquake of magnitude eight last year, emphasizing that the country has an advanced early warning system and adapted infrastructure to limit damage, making Japan one of the best-prepared countries to face seismic disasters.
