March 22, 2012 Earthquake (Mega Quake Prediction)

March 22, 2012 Earthquake (Mega Quake Prediction)

The big earthquakes that have struck in some areas around the world in the past couple of years have been found to follow a pattern, allowing one to predict when the next mega quake is coming.

The pattern is being called the 188-day cycle and it says that a powerful quake occurs every 188 days. It predicts that an 'event' is likely to take place on or around March 22, 2012.

Here's an illustration of the said earthquake cycle:

February 28th, 2010: An 8.8-magnitude rocked Chile.

188 days later, September 4th, 2010: A magnitude 7.1 earthquake jolted Christchurch, New Zealand.

188 days later, March 11th, 2011: Japan was devastated by a 9.0-magnitude quake.

188 days later, September 15th, 2011: 6.0-, 6.2-, and 7.3-magnitude earthquakes struck New Zealand, Japan and Fiji, respectively.

188 days later, March 22, 2012: Another mega quake?

Experts, however, argue that it is impossible to predict an earthquake.

"Although it is understood that most earthquakes will concentrate at plate boundaries, there is no reliable method of accurately predicting the time, place, and magnitude of an earthquake. Earthquakes are difficult or impossible to predict because of their inherent randomness and near-chaotic behavior," the Pacific Disaster Center said.
