Can big earthquakes be predicted by radio signals
Scientists explore a theory that Earth's natural radio signals may foretell major quakes. Observations in 1986 87 Southern California 1988 Armenia 1989 Japan Northern California plus Greek Greek studies suggest pre quake VLF ELF ULF waves. Critics note no proven link and many inconsistent signals, so prediction remains unconfirmed.
