The Indian continental plate is reduced to two parts, which can lead to an increase in seismic activity, Write “Tsargrad.”
Scientists from Stanford University have discovered signs of division in northern Tibet. This confirms the analysis of helium content in sources and seismic waves. The division of India is horizontally, formerly considered impossible. A similar process is observed in East Africa, where vertical divergence sheets at a speed of about 6.35 mm per year.
In Russia, especially in Urals and Siberia, the consequence of division is possible. The exploration of Stanislav Zavatski claimed that such processes had happened earlier, but they did not lead to catastrophic consequences due to slow nature.
Director of the Unified Geophysical Service of Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Vinogradov predicts the increase in the amount of earthquake in the next five years, although it is difficult to predict the exact location of the strongest earthquake. The main seismic areas in Russia include Kamchatka, Kurille, Sakhalin, Baikal, Alta-Sayan territory and Kavkaz.
