<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - After the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria and was felt by the residents of many regions of the Middle East, including the Jordanian capital, Amman, many questions poured into Arabia Weather about the possibility of predicting the occurrence of earthquakes and earthquakes less frequently and issuing an early warning about it Some questions were also received about the timing of the next earthquake!</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> These questions were answered by a professor of geophysics and seismology at the University of Jordan, Dr. Najeeb Abu Karaki, who confirmed in an interview with Arab Weather that no one on earth can predict the time and place of an earthquake until the moment, stressing that any talk that is being circulated about exposure An area of a confirmed and destructive earthquake during a specific period of time that has no basis in truth and is not based on scientific foundations.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The experience of Japan comes to confirm the words of Dr. Abu Karaki.. Despite the scientific progress that Japan has reached, especially in the field of earthquake research, it failed to predict the devastating earthquake that struck it with a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale on 11-3-2011 and caused massive destruction and Tidal waves killed tens of thousands of people. And it caused one of the largest nuclear disasters in the world (which means that the region was under close seismic monitoring and that it was carefully studied).</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> This failure does not stop at Japan only, as the major countries have not yet been able to find any real way to predict earthquakes, such as the United States of America and China.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
