What Is Science Doing To Predict Natural Disasters? | Ever Wondered

In this episode host John Watt tackles the titans of Mother Nature - the earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes that have shaped the very bedrock of New Zealand. Through a series of intelligent interviews, explosive field-testing and gritty archival footage we see what science is doing to demystify our biggest natural phenomena.

I was in Santa Curz Ca in 1989 when the Loma Prieta fault busted loose in 1989. The ground shook furiously. I immediately ran outside from behind from the counter

I recall that in an episode on PBS Nova some discussion was given to the fact that moving magma in a lava tube produces an acoustic pre-eruption signal similar to air moving in a pipe organ. I'm curious if any further progress has been made along this line.

Thank you for making this video, I will surely pass my test now!

Roughly one month later a volcano erupted in New Zealand. How ironic.

Even though there is science. I feel that some are man made.

When are these so called " scientists " going to realize that they're looking in the wrong place? If they really want to figure it all out, they need to come to the realization that the sun has a helluva lot more influence on our planet's behavior than they want to admit. They should analyze the electrical connection between Earth and our star(the sun).

What? is this a meme? are you memeing? How does the sun effect earthquakes on Earth?

[@grahamnalepa4622]

@@salemsehiri7198 Of course, I'm NOT trying to " meme " ... our planet has a definite electrical connection to the sun that not only effects our weather...but, EVERYTHING else here. The " Suspicious0bservers " KZbin channel talks about this in great detail. They've even had a lot of success predicting earthquakes. Seriously, look into it. Take care.

[@salemsehiri7198]

@@grahamnalepa4622 I- So your telling me that predicting earthquakes using advanced technology is less effective than scanning this fucking sun for some sort of electrical connection? Because to me that sounds a little ridiculous

[@grahamnalepa4622]

@@salemsehiri7198 That's funny...it doesn't seem so advanced, if it can't determine an outcome and give a prediction? But, studying the electrical connections between Earth and the sun will do EXACTLY that. Don't take my word for it, look into yourself and you'll see what I mean? And, who knows...maybe, you'll learn something? Take care.
