Deprem ve anormal hayvan davranışları

Bilim adamları ne yaparlarsa yapsınlar modern ve teknolojik aletlerle dahi depremin meydana geliş zamanını önceden tahmin etmekte zorlanıyorlar. Ancak pek çok hayvan türü depremden saatler ve hatta günler öncesinde anormal davranışlar sergilemektedir. Bu durum artık bilinen bir gerçek olsa da hayvanların nasıl ve neye karşı böyle bir tepki verdiği hala sırrını korumaktadır. Bu nedenle hayvanlar üzerinde yapılacak detaylı çalışmalar ile elde edilecek bulgular, depremlerin kesin tahmini konusunda kuşkusuz pek çok fayda sağlayacaktır.

Earthquake and abnormal animal behaviours

Scientists have difficulty in prediction of the time of earthquake whatever they do even by using modern and technological equipments. However, many animal species display abnormal behaviours many hours and days before the earthquake. Although this situation is a known fact, it isn’t known that how and to what animals react against. For that reason; the detailed studies which will be done on animals and the findings will provide a lot of benefits about the certain predictions for the earthquake.
