Predicting Earthquakes Through Quake Cycles Analysis
West Coast scientists at California Institute of Technology report a pattern of major quakes linked to closely spaced active periods followed by long quiet intervals. Dr Benioff says global forces may lock and unlock crust cracks, with 1900s events like Colombia Chile and Tokyo cited as past high-mamage quakes. The Caltech statement suggests periods of activity have shortened and become milder, forecasting fewer intense earthquakes moving forward.
