(A)  ABSTRACT-

 

 I am basically, a mechanical engineer from Mumbai, India. The passion for earthquake

 

Prediction was started way back in 1993 when great Latur, Maharashtra earthquake occurred.

 

On September 30th 1993. Since then, I am maintaining a blog wherein major (6+) quakes are

 

predicted and dates with magnitudes are uploaded well in advance.  https;//earthquake-

 

prediction.blogspot.com 

 

 

  As we know the existing theory of plate tectonics cannot predict major earthquakes, and it

 

has been accepted by the science and seismologist. There are various short comings of plate

 

 tectonics theory, which is not the topic to be discussed here.

 

    Here the theory of tidal pull on semi solid magma and Earth crust is considered to explain

 

the Türkiye earthquakes of 6th February 2023 (7.8 and 7.5 magnitude). Before

 

 proceeding further please have a look at my blog and linked in postings where these

 

predictions were made in advance. More over in all of Linked in prediction postings, with

 

theory, USGS and SSA were marked /tagged

 

 

   The Gist of the theory which will be used to explain the major quakes at Türkiye is as

 

follows

 

1)     Earth consists of upper crust and below which semi solid /molten magma.

 

2)      The tidal pull of Moon, Sun and major planets acts on magma as well as Earth crust

 

3)     On a given potent date (as per this theory) when this pull exceeds the threshold limit,

 

it Breaks the crust at weaker plate boundaries and quake occurs. If it breaks open the

 

mouth of volcano an eruption occurs. Thus, both major quakes and volcanic eruption

 

occur due to tidal pull-on magma and Earth crust.

 

 

 

   It is requested not to discard this theory, without proper consideration. I am aware that, tidal

 

pull theory has been discarded earlier by seismologist, only by considering Moon phases

 

(Which is not correct)

 

     

(B ) MANUSCRIPT TEXT-  (THEORY )

 

  Earth consists of an upper Crust of about 100 km thick (Lithosphere) and a ductile hot

 

 Asthenosphere of about 660 kms thickness. Then comes lower mantle, outer core and inner

 

Core.

 

  What, I believe causes an earthquake (major 6+) is the tidal pull exerted on ductile

 

Asthenosphere of around 660 kms . The Moon, Sun and major planets like Jupiter, Mars

 

, Venus and Saturn (in that order) also exert pull on magma as well as upper crust .

 

   When the tidal pull exceeds a critical limit, the magma breaks the crust partially and an

 

 earthquake occurs. If the pull can break open the mouth of a volcano an eruption will occur.

 

So both major quake and major eruption can occur on a given potent date.

 

 Since tidal pull is inversely proportional to the cube of distances between two planets /bodies

 

 Moon has maximum tidal pull and most of the quake triggers are decided by the position of

 

the Moon.

 

 Thus, the theory says that, on a given potent date (as decided by this theory) more 6+ major

 

Quakes will occur all over the globe. Not only that, the chances of a volcanic eruption are

 

fairly high during these dates.

 

Deciding the potent date/s

 

1)     First in a given month check the distances of Sun and major planets. If Sun and

 

 major planets (Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Saturn in that order are closer/closest)  

 

the Moon has potency to produce 6+ magnitude quakes when joins or opposes them

 

                                                              

 

 

     The minimum distances are as mentioned below

 

Sun …….0.983 AU (Astronomical unit ie average distance of Earth to Sun)

 

Moon….57 ER (earth radius) 

 

Jupiter …  3.9 AU

 

Mars…. 0.52 AU

 

Venus….0.28 AU

 

Saturn….8.5 AU

 

 Now in a given month if more than one planet is closer/closest, it is more potent

     

                                                   

 

2)     Once the distances are known, check whether in that given month any planet is at

 

 maximum declinations or closer to maximum declination (North or South).

 

Also check whether Sun is at Max Declinations North or South

 

Maximum Declinations of planets and stand still positions of the planets are very

 

 important because immediately after that, it will change the direction from North

 

to South or south to North. What actually happens is, due to this change in

 

directions the tidal pull direction also suddenly changes and there will be an

 

imbalance and jerk in the molten magma due to retardation or acceleration. This

 

ultimately induce imbalance in the magma and it breaks the crust, causing an

 

earthquake

 

 Straight line formation of Venus ,Earth and Great conjunction/opposition of Jupiter and Saturn is most powerful for 7+ quakes

 

 

3)     Venus plays a major role in deciding the potency of the date. Venus  closer and at higher declinations should be watched carefully. Venus in straight line with earth, Jupiter, Sun, Saturn is very potent. During great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, when Venus joins both in line with Earth can induce 7+ quake.

 

WATCH FOR MAJOR CONUCTION /OPPOSITION OF JUPITER AND SATURN, ALONGWITH VENUS JOINING AND MAKING A STRAIGHT LINE.

THUS WHEN JUPTER AND SATURN CLOSER AND IN GREAT CONJUCTION, IF VENUS (CLOSER) JOINS NAD MAKE STRAIGHTLINE WITH EARTH ,SUN AND MOON HAS MAXIMUM POTENTIAL

 

 

Deciding the date and time

 

    Now the exact date is decided by the most powerful and fast-moving Moon.

 

 When Moon joins or opposes Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Venus (in that order) it creates a

 

trigger for quake.  The date on which Moon is closest during month and/or at

 

maximum declinations North or South these dates are also potent. Often, we have

 

seen that, full Moon and New Moon are more potent for major quakes. Eclipses are

 

still more powerful as Sun, Moon and Earth remain in one plane also.

 

  Thus, the date and time will be decided by Moon

 

The time in UTC can be decided when Moon exactly Joins/opposes Sun

 

/Jupiter,/Mars/ Venus ( whichever is potent ie closer and/or having maximum

 

declinations)

 

  Deciding magnitude

 

    Magnitude in Richter scale can be decided by the potency of Moon, Sun and other planets

 

 have on that day and time, ie how close they are and at what declination they are.

 

If the Sun is closest and at Maximum declination, say in December or even during

 

November to March (next year), Moon closest (57 ER ) and maximum declination

 

possible (+ or -27 degrees), Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Saturn are closer/closest and at

 

near maximum declinations, the quake could be well above 8.5 magnitude. The super

 

conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn is most potent. During the year of super conjunction

 

when other planets join ( 0 or 180 degree) the combination become most potent

 

Deciding locations

 

   Location of major quakes can be decided by the position of Moon and Sun in that

 

order, where they are at Zenith and/or Nadir longitudes at the decided time with + or –

 

15 degrees of margin, the probability of quake at that location is very high at those

 

longitudes.

 

  As tidal pull is equally applicable to both side of the globe Zenith and Nadir. both side

 

 longitudes are prone to major quakes

 

Further, the locations where Moon /sun are rising and/or setting at the time in UTC

 

decided as above, are also prone to major quakes. This is because, at the low tide

 

locations the Earth crust can be pulled apart due to high tide pull at Zenith and Nadir

 

 

 It is true that, the quakes occur mostly at plate boundaries. But this is because

 

the plate boundaries are weaker than crust and they give way earlier when tidal

 

pull is nearby or just below the crust

             

 

          In fact, what I believe is

 

 THE PLATES ARE DUE TO QUAKES AND THAT THE QUAKES ARE NOT DUE TO PLATES

 

 There are some inherent problems in pin pointing only one location for amjaor,6+

 

quake,

 

 . What we can find out is where (longitude) the pull will be at the trigger

                                                        

 time. If the crust is solid, it may not break at trigger time. It may take few hours

 

more or less than the trigger time and in the meantime the locations shift due to

 

Earth rotation

 

 Thus, the location fixing is very dynamic process

 

WHAT IS FINALLY TO BE GIVEN AS A GIST IS….

 

A)    DECIDE MONTH, DATE AND TIME AS PER ABOVE THEORY WHEN MOON JOINS

 

 /OPPOSES SUN OR MAJOR PLANETS HAVING POTENCY

 

B)      LOCATE ZENITH AND NADIR POSITION OF MOON /SUN AT THAT TIME

 

C)     THE LONGITUDES OF ZENITH AND NADIR POSITION OF MOON /SUN, WITH + OR

 

-15 DEGREE OF LONGITUDES IS PRONE FOR MAJOR QUAKES (6+)

 

D)     THE LOCATIONS WHERE MOON /SUN ARE RISING /SETTING AT GIVEN POTENT

 

TIME ARE THE LOCATIONS FOR MAJOR QUAKE, INCLUDING TWILIGHT ZONE.

 

E)      IF WE WANT TO REMAIN ALERT ON POTENT DATE, OBSERVE THE TIME OF SUN

 

 /MOON AT ZENITH /NADIR AND RISING /SETTING AT QUAKE PRONE LOCATIONS.
