Pakistan NSMC responds over Dutch SSGEOS prediction of strong earthquake in country
Shares
Pakistan's National Seismic Mongering Centre (NSMC) has challenges the claims made by a Dutch scientist regarding a significant tremor in Pakistan. This scientist had seemingly accurately pinpointed the timing and date of the impending quake. The NSMC, however, asserted that while the Chaman fault line indeed exists, as evidenced by a past earthquake in 2013, it remains impossible to predict precisely when the next seismic event will take place.
In response to inquiries regarding the Dutch scientist's prediction, NSMC authorities and experts emphasized that although a fault line can be a catalyst for an earthquake, determining the precise time of such an event remains beyond current capabilities. They highlighted the inaccuracy of many predictions from the Solar System Geometry Survey, casting doubt on the reliability of such forecasts.
Meteorological analysts have urged the public not to be unduly alarmed by rumors circulating on social media. They stressed that changes and disturbances in tectonic plates can only be speculated upon, making it impossible to definitively predict when and where an earthquake will occur.
The Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), an organization based in the Netherlands renowned for its seismic predictions, has garnered attention for its forecast of a major earthquake in Pakistan. However, the NSMC's rejection of these claims underscores the complexity and unpredictability of seismic events, cautioning against placing undue reliance on specific predictions.
While the existence of the Chaman fault line is acknowledged, the NSMC's stance underscores the inherent uncertainties in earthquake forecasting, emphasizing the need for continued research and vigilance in earthquake-prone regions. Despite the attention garnered by such predictions, the scientific community remains cautious about making definitive claims regarding the precise timing of seismic events.
