I don't know if you have experienced that every time there are some strange phenomena, or some abnormal behavior of animals, many people worry about whether it will be a harbinger of natural disasters such as earthquakes?
Most cases are considered unrelated, but a recent earthquake in Japan seems to indicate a correlation.
According to the China Earthquake Network, at about 16 o'clock on November 14, Beijing time, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake occurred off the south coast of Honshu, Japan, with a focal depth of 350 kilometers.
Because the depth of the epicenter is very exaggerated and not on land, it does not attract much attention from everyone, after all, it is generally necessary to cause damage, and the depth of the epicenter is basically about 10 kilometers, that is, shallow source earthquakes are possible.
However, there is a phenomenon that occurred on the Japanese island of Honshu that has made many people pay some attention to this earthquake: that is, before and after the earthquake erupted, there was a large gathering of birds on the Japanese island of Honshu.
Someone filmed a video, and you can clearly see thousands of birds hovering high in the sky, densely packed and looking scary.
Because the essence of earthquakes is the specific manifestation of crustal activity on the surface, because the interior of the plate is constantly being squeezed and stretched, once it exceeds the tolerance or fracture, an earthquake will occur.
And the shaking we can feel is seismic waves, divided into transverse waves and longitudinal waves, which we can only feel, but cannot see, which is one of the reasons why earthquakes are difficult to predict in advance.
Animals are indeed more sensitive to danger than humans, and generally before some natural disasters, animals will have abnormal phenomena, such as abnormal livestock restlessness, animals moving in the wild, and so on.
Perhaps because of the earthquake, birds will constantly gather and chirp in the sky, but rarely land. Some experts say it may also be because before the earthquake arrived, the local magnetic field was damaged, causing the birds to lose their direction.
In short, science does have a record of how to predict disasters through animal behavior. It's just that most situations don't apply, because usually a few animals react, and if a large area of animals is abnormal, then humans should have detected abnormalities long ago.
And speaking of this, I have to mention the situation of Mt. Fuji in Japan, and since 2021, many countries around the world, including Japan and South Korea, have been paying close attention because the number of vents on Mt. Fuji has increased significantly.
Tokyo, Japan, has formulated a lot of evacuation plans, ready to guide the masses to evacuate at any time. After all, the city of Tokyo is too close to Mt. Fuji, and if there is a large eruption of Mt. Fuji, volcanic ash can reach the sky over Tokyo in 2 hours, magma can cover the surrounding villages for 10 kilometers in 1 hour, and so on.
German experts said that it is not surprising when Mt. Fuji will erupt, and the difficulty is to deal with the global catastrophic impact after the eruption!
Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the movement of Mt. Fuji and predict the time of its eruption in advance. Then the gathering of birds before the earthquake seems to be one of the ways to help.
What do you think about this?
