NO links between large quakes?
Two researchers from USGS and University of Texas who have analyzed recent earthquakes greater than magnitude 7, say they have found “no link” between them.
[Presumably some of them are caused by the movement of moon, while the others are caused by Venus, or Mars!!]
The study is being published by the journal Nature Geoscience, a report said.
