Earthquake in Andamans could follow Cyclone Fani, warns Seismological researcher

The impression left by the Cyclone Fani that battered coastal Bay of Bengal is not going anytime soon. Trichy-based physics graduate Prakash who has been researching on cyclones and the corollary earthquakes has some bad news.

Prakash claims that the North of Andamans has a high possibility of a 5.5 to 6 richter earthquake in 2 weeks. The seisomological researcher has sent his findings to many global centres on seismology like the ones in Australia and Japan.

It is the friction between the tectonic plates that creates humidity causing the evaporation of water measuring billions of cubic litres. This results in storms and cyclones, this is a geographically proven phenomenon.

Cyclone Fani is a category-4 cyclone, it means there is a lot of disturbances beneath the ocean. Earthquakes are quotidian in the Andamans, but looking at earthquakes from the cyclone perspective could make the caution-handling more effective.
