Secret behind earthquake and Nuclear tests out! Study reveals why world facing frequent earthquakes, scientists say…

Washington: A new research study conducted by the seismologists at Los Alamos National Laboratory has revealed connections between earthquakes and nuclear tests. The scientists have claimed that some earthquakes could actually be secret nuclear tests. This finding came from a study led by Joshua Carmichael. The research has been published in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America. The study states that it is very difficult to distinguish between tremors caused by earthquakes and those resulting from clandestine nuclear explosions.

The research further added that even with new technology, it is difficult to detect secret nuclear explosions. Joshua and his colleagues found in their study that North Korea has conducted six nuclear tests over the past 20 years. With the increase in the number of earthquake-monitoring instruments in the region, it was discovered that small-scale earthquakes occur frequently around the test sites. This makes it extremely challenging to identify signs of explosions amidst the earthquake tremors.

Research Breaks Old Belief

It was long believed that explosions could not be concealed from earthquake signals, but a new study challenges this notion. According to Joshua, when earthquake tremors and nuclear test shocks overlap, it becomes extremely difficult to distinguish between them. Even modern technology struggles to separate the two, as the tremors appear strikingly similar. Scientists have attempted to address this issue by analyzing the ratio of P-waves to S-waves.

The research team found that a particular technology can accurately detect a buried explosion of 1.7 tons up to 97 percent of the time. However, if the shockwaves from the explosion merge with earthquake tremors occurring within 100 seconds and within a 250-kilometer radius, the technology’s accuracy drops to just 37 percent. In other words, in such cases, the technology fails to a significant extent.

According to Joshua, “The combination of explosions and earthquake tremors can deceive even our best digital signal detectors in identifying an explosion. This clearly means that earthquake tremors can mask the signals of an explosion. In areas that frequently experience earthquakes, detecting explosions will become very difficult.”
