Moreau 76 the year of big quakes LONDON Reuter Even before the recent disastrous earthquake in eastern Turkey 1976 had established itself as the year of the big quake Areas hit by rumblings regis tering over six on the Richter scale this year include Guate mala Italy Soviet Central Asia Mexico New Guinea China New Hebrides the Phil ippines Bali and Chile Seismologists have grown weary of giving assurances that this years activuy so far as they know does not represent some serious new instability in the planets bowels Itsjust that they are on tar get this year said one London based expert The quakes have hit populated areas but there was really no more ac tivity this year than usual However the publicity such quakes have received has brought new attention to the seismologists craft along with new research funds toward pre dicting controlling and coping with this type of natural de struction PLATES lIIIE Most quakes occur where the 60milethick tectonic plates of the earths crust meet and slide along or push against one an other Ihese plates meet along two main fault lines ne rings the PaCific passtng through Alaska California South Americas western seaboard Indonesia China and Japan The other runs from the Mediterranean through the Middle East to IndoneSia IOJOIR thefirst As these plates try to move against one another tre mendous pressure buuds up When the pressure is released suddenly and the plates move the result is an earthquake Ihe Nov 24 quake which killed 5000 people in eastern lurkey happened on the eastern end of the Anatolian fault Geophyswist James Brander suggested in New Scientist magaune after the recent quake that the location of future earthquakes along the fault can perhaps be predicted by noting where none have ocv curred recently In these spots the unrelieved stress would be greatest IIIRS lllltICAIIINEI similar tension area has been noted along the more fa mous San Andreas fault which threatens the aliforiiia cities of San Francisco and los Angeles and is remarkably similar lIl its mechanics to its Anatolian cousin Seisinologist James Whit comb made historic and risky prediction in April this year when he told scientific meeting in Washington that quake of 554 magnitude could be expected in tile los Angeles area possiby Within the year He was speaking of 100 mile stretch nortfi of los Angeles where the fault has remained locked for 40 years building uphugestress lr Whifcombs forecast has had absolutely no effect on people living iii the area lhc lfnited States government however paid heed and has established an earthquake predictioncouncil NIlSl ISI tlltlli lo be effective prediction must be accurate almost to the hour loverninent oflicials are horril led at the lawsuits and in surance claims they would face should they order the millions of inhabitants of city like os Angeles to flee and then no quake came The hinesc however have successfully predicted an ear thquake aiid saved thousands of lives In 1973 they monitored peculiar betiaVLor of local animals and noted things like the bubbling of water in wells arotind the city of Aicheng The city was evacuated about five hours before
