<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - The head of the Jordanian seismological observatory, Dr. Mahmoud Al-Qaryouti explained that it is very difficult to predict seismic activity at a specific time, date, strength and intensity, and this is something that has not happened even in the most developed countries</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Al-Qaryouti indicated that there are 20 seismic stations distributed in different parts of the Kingdom, and said that the region is seismic, and therefore it is difficult to determine a specific earthquake at a specific time, date and specific strength.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In order to clarify this topic and to answer people&#39;s questions, we had earlier made a phone call to the professor of geophysics and seismology at the University of Jordan, Dr. Najeeb Abu Karaki, who emphasized that no one on earth can, until the moment, predict the time and place of the earthquake, stressing that Any talk circulating about the exposure of a region to a certain and devastating earthquake during a certain period of time is unfounded and is not based on scientific foundations.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The experience of Japan comes to confirm the words of Dr. Abu Karaki .. Despite the scientific progress that Japan has reached, especially in the field of earthquake research, it failed to predict the devastating earthquake that struck it with a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale on 3/11/2011 and caused tremendous damage and destruction. Tidal waves killed tens of thousands of people. It caused one of the largest nuclear disasters in the world (which means that the region was under close seismic monitoring and was carefully studied)</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/content/%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%...
