In 2010, Japan / Haiti / Indonesia and other countries have developed a strong earthquake, the earthquake as many people concerned about the topic. Many sites and forums, as well as some popular chat software, a magnet on earthquake prediction method, the magnet that few people know that this method is feasible; but there are also some people think that this method is not feasible. Magnet is really able to predict earthquakes do?

Many people will see a message that earthquake prediction: It is an international organization forecasts that this year the Earth will enter a seismic year, where a friend had recommended a earthquake prediction method: put a magnet with a rope hanging in the height, the following being floor tile or an iron pots, stick a magnet on the big iron. Before the earthquake dramatic changes in the Earth's magnetic field, magnets will lose magnetism, iron fell, landing on the ground or pots on the issue of noise. This method is in the house is not shaking before, it will advance warning lead time is 10 minutes to tens of seconds. So that you can advance from the earthquake site.

This method may be feasible, using the principle of magnetic field changes in this approach to predict earthquakes "estimate effective", but also is simple. While many User believes that earthquake prediction is a worldwide problem, is currently in the world do not have a way to accurately predict earthquakes. "If this method is feasible, then Haiti, Chile, earthquake, should be predicted Cai Dui. This approach is no scientific basis. National authorities are also studying the Earth's magnetic field changes and the relationship between earthquakes. Through the high-tech instruments to monitor the Earth's magnetic field, subtle changes will be monitored down for analysis. "But even so, it failed to accurately predict earthquakes, such a simple magnet to rely on the method of earthquake prediction is clearly not credible. "
