According to the United States Geological Survey, this phenomenon (earthquake lights) could also be noticed within the type of glows within the sky, balls of sunshine, sheet lighting, or streamers. There is not any consensus amongst geophysicists about if there’s stable proof for earthquake lights. But there are theories or hypotheses to clarify the occasion scientifically. A researcher named Freund studied the phenomenon and gave a potential rationalization for it within the 2019 paper – ‘Co-seismic Earthquake Lights: The Underlying Mechanism’.Â
As talked about earlier, that is solely a principle to clarify an occasion that scientists do not perceive totally but.
Another anecdotal phenomenon associated to earthquakes is animals behaving surprisingly earlier than an earthquake. This has been reported for hundreds of years now and there have been many analysis research about it. This has been most generally reported and studied in China.
