Israeli researchers have made a breakthrough in earthquake prediction by identifying a previously unknown pattern of seismic activity that precedes earthquakes. According to Prof. Jay Fineberg of the Hebrew University, his team has discovered that slow and silent damage creates conditions ripe for earthquakes.
This novel approach challenges traditional views on earthquake science, where certain “dirt effects” were often overlooked. The new model provides a more comprehensive understanding of the complex processes leading up to an earthquake, offering potential breakthroughs in early warning systems and disaster preparedness.
