🔎 Regional instrumental seismicity in Dominican Republic. The colored dots represent the #earthquakes that have struck the region [using @ISCseism catalog -1960 to 2020- and @emsc data -from 2021 onwards]:
🔎 Deadliest #earthquakes that occurred in recent years within 300km of San Fernando de Monte Cristi (Dominican Republic): 12/01/2010 a M7.1 led to 316000 casualties, 14/08/2021 a M7.2 led to 2248 casualties, and on 04/08/1946 a M8.1 led to 100 casualties.
👉#Earthquakes cannot be predicted. For an #earthquake prediction to be meaningful, it has to specify a time, location & magnitude range that is unlikely to occur randomly. This is currently impossible. Learn more in this video from @EarthScope_sci👇
