In Karachi, there is a potential threat of an earthquake in the ArabianSea, although accurately predicting such seismic events remainschallenging, as reported by ARY News on Tuesday. Chief Meteorologist SardarSafaraz has pointed out the presence of a junction of tectonic plateslocated approximately 50 kilometers south of Makran in the Arabian Sea.
Sarfaraz mentioned that this junction is a significant area whereearthquakes or tsunamis could occur.It’s worth noting that in the past,this region experienced an earthquake with an intensity of 8 on the Richterscale, and the recurrence of a tremor of such magnitude could also pose atsunami risk for Karachi, as mentioned by the weather expert.
Recently, Karachi’s eastern parts experienced a tremor with an intensity of3.2. Additionally, Iran’s port city of Bundar Abbas along the Arabian Seacoast felt a 5.3 intensity earthquake.
The Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), an organization based in theNetherlands known for its seismic predictions, has forecasted a majorearthquake in Pakistan within 48 hours.

SSGEOS specializes in monitoring fluctuations of electric charge in theatmosphere near sea level, which they claim can serve as indicators ofregions prone to stronger seismic activity, typically within a range of 1to 9 days.
While it’s important to note that the organization’s marked regions areapproximate, they provide valuable insights into potential earthquake-proneareas. In a recent prediction, Dutch scientists working with SSGEOSreported a significant surge in electric activity along the Chaman faultlines in Pakistan.
