KARACHI: There is likely threat of an earthquake in Arabian Sea but one could not correctly predict about a tremor, citing a weather expert ARY News reported on Tuesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Chief Meteorologist Sardar Safaraz has stated that a junction of tectonic plates exists in 50 kilometers in south of Makran in Arabian Sea. \u201cAn earthquake or tsunami could happen around the junction of tectonic plates,\u201d Sarfaraz stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn 8-point intensity earthquake was occurred in this area in the past, a repeat of a tremor of such intensity could also affect Karachi from tsunami,\u201d weather expert said.<\/p>\n

Karachi\u2019s eastern parts last night jolted with 3.2 intensity tremor.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Bundar Abbas, a port city on the Arabian Sea coast this morning felt 5.3 intensity earthquake.<\/p>\n

The Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), a Netherlands-based organization known for its seismic predictions, had recently predicted a major earthquake in Pakistan within 48 hours.<\/p>\n

The SSGEOS specializes in monitoring fluctuations of electric charge in the atmosphere near sea level, which they claim are indicative of regions where stronger seismic activity might occur, typically within a range of 1 to 9 days.<\/p>\n

While the organization emphasizes that the regions they mark as potentially affected are approximations, they provide valuable insights into potential earthquake-prone areas.<\/p>\n

In a recent prediction, the Dutch scientist working with SSGEOS reported a significant surge in electric activity along the Chaman fault lines in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Since this forecast Afghanistan\u2019s Herat province has been jolted thrice with deadly earthquakes to the intensity of 6.2 and above at the Richter scale.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, tremors were felt in different parts of Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, China and other countries after a magnitude 6.8 earthquake jolted the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
