In the European Geosciences Union (EGU), Vienna Convention on the 9th of April, a Russian scientist said that Japan will face a devastating earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale next year.
Alexei Ryubushin Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth present his findings are based on data collection a low frequency seismic noise through the F-net.
F-net is a seismograph network Japan earthquake which promotes research by providing a high sensitivity seismic data, observations of crustal deformation and other information useful in monitoring the behavior of earthquakes.
During the last convention, Alexei indicates that there is still a remaining pressure in the earth's crust following the devastating Tohoku earthquake in 2011 ago. However, he predicts the next earthquake will hit other locations.
"From 2013 to 2014, a devastating earthquake will occur around the Nankai Trough area (ditch that runs along the sea floor from Shizuoka to Kyushu as described below)," said Alexei in his presentation, as reported by Mail.Ru (9 / 4).
Will continue to occur on subduction along the eastern coast of Japan. As reported by Wikipedia, subduction zones or bending occurs when oceanic plates collide with continental plates, and seeped into the lower continental crust into the asthenosphere.
When the tectonic plates in the Pacific Ocean moves to Japan, it will push the base plate just below the island (Japan). This will cause friction continuously along the trench, where two plates intersect.
Since 2012, Russia's increasingly active in developing earthquake prediction technology. They have teamed up with the UK in the project TwinSat, satellite and ground station network down. Russian researchers are very hopeful that the development of these technologies can accurately predict earthquakes by detecting variations in the orbit of the earth's electromagnetic field.
