🌍Expert says Soweto Earthquake might be a result of natural movement🏔️ Earthquake TheCitizenNews Read more⬇️
“We can’t predict. There are multiple reasons for an earthquake. Are we going to see a huge one like the one that destroyed half of Japan? We are not on a plate boundary so we are not going to see that kind of activity.
“But we are moving support underground either because of mining or getting water from underground, so when the earth readjusts, it collapses the ground to close up the empty space. That’s how it does it,” she said.Drennan explained what a tectonic plate boundary is at the Pacific Ring of Fire. “The Pacific Ring of Fire is where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the adjacent plates around it. So, you got major tectonic activity on that plate boundary.
“We are not on that plate boundary. We are in the middle of a continent, so our kid of readjustment is very different,” she said.
