How Accurate Are The Earthquake Predictions?
The predictions of dangerous earthquake periods are highly approximate. Trends and tendencies and peaks and valleys in seismic activity, at rates well above chance, can be predicted for the globe as a whole and for some regions. But keep in mind that to date it is virtually impossible to predict a specific earthquake in a specific location at a specific time and date. Several approaches are being attempted by various researchers and groups around the world, but so far no method has developed a “track record”. It IS possible, however, to predict “WINDOWS” of increased or decreased quake activity by using orbital mechanics. These orbital WINDOWS of increased and decreased quake activity are easily observed in the historical graph trendlines which are displayed in the Earthquake Gallery. The windows were originally noticed by James Berkland and he has developed considerable knowledge about how the windows work. He calls them “syzygy windows”, which refer to certain moments in the orbital
