Researchers discover way to predict earthquakes with 80% accuracy

Updated: JULY 26, 2022

By studying changes in the Earth's ionosphere, the sliver of atmosphere which meets the vacuum of space, the Ariel University and Center for Research & Development Eastern Branch research team was able to evaluate potential precursors to several major earthquakes that occurred in the past 20 years.

The method developed by the team saw them implement a machine learning support vector machine (SVM) technique, applied with GPS map data of ionospheric total electron content to calculate its electron charge density.

Scientists may have just cracked a great mystery about why "earthquake lightning" happens

It sounds like something out of a Bible passage or horror movie: Earthquakes and lightning happening simultaneously, as though cracks in the ground were unearthing a fountain not of water but of electricity.

Yet for years, no one has been entirely sure why earthquake lightning happens. Now, Professor Emeritus Yuji Enomoto of Shinshu University in Japan, may have figured it out.
