Part 9/12:
Ancient theories linked weather or atmospheric phenomena to earthquakes—such as winds in underground caves. Modern science has shown no correlation. Earthquakes occur due to stress accumulation along faults, independent of weather.
10. Animals Might Sense Earthquakes, But Evidence Is Limited
Reports of animals behaving strangely before quakes have circulated for centuries. While animals are more sensitive to sounds and vibrations, there is no scientific proof they can consistently predict earthquakes.
What Might Animals Detect?
High-frequency sounds, vibrations, or gases like radon.
However, these signals often occur without a subsequent quake or are too subtle for reliable prediction.
