Semi-mythical 'earthquakes lights' may be accompanied by changes to Earth's magnetic field. Now researchers says these changes could be used to forecast major tremors
The idea that these blue flashes are caused by anis often dismissed by scientists. Indeed, after Acapulco, some suggested the flickering lights may have come from damaged power lines. But a small group of researchers now claim to have evidence for an alternative hypothesis. It says that when tectonic faults rupture, electrical currents are created.
If they are right, we could potentially use these signals as a warning of disaster. It is a long shot: the search for ways to predict earthquakes has frustrated us for decades. But new evidence linked to these uncanny, dancing lights in the sky is shaking up the field.
