A scientific report revealed the results of a recent geological study that presents a controversial hypothesis about the causes of earthquakes, indicating that these earthquakes may not only be related to the usual movements of tectonic plates, but may also be related to “flare-ups” or deep thermal and magnetic disturbances coming from the center of the Earth.
The study showed that these internal combustions send huge energy waves that cause the upper rock layers to destabilize, which explains the occurrence of earthquakes in areas that were previously considered “passive” or far from known seismic areas.
The researchers indicated that these results may change our view of the dynamics of planet Earth, as linking activity in the core and the Earth’s crust opens new areas for predicting seismic activity longer periods before it occurs.
Although this hypothesis is still under intense research, it highlights the importance of studying changes in the Earth’s magnetic and thermal fields as major factors in the stability of our planet, which may affect global seismic monitoring methods in the future.
