Chinese earthquake provides lessons for future

The May 12 Sichuan earthquake in China was unexpectedly large. Analysis of the area, however, now shows that topographic characteristics of the highly mountainous area identified the mountain range as active and could have pointed to the earthquake hazard. Topographic analysis can help evaluate other, similar fault areas for seismic risk, according to geologists from Penn State and Arizona State University.

Lights, Camera, Earthquake?

Just 30 minutes before the earthquake that killed tens of thousands in the Chinese province of Sichuan in May, local video footage captured on a cell phone revealed rainbow lights in the clouds. Some have identified the lights as merely a circumhorizontal arc-an unusual, horizontal rainbow refracting through ice crystals in cirrus clouds. Others, however, consider the light show an example of "earthquake lights," a scientifically unproven indicator of a coming earthquake. The theory behind earthquake lights is that seismic activity sends ultrasonic waves through mineral deposits in the earth's crust. These waves react with water molecules in the sky to produce a rainbow effect in clouds. The scientific evidence for this is dubious at best. That said, earthquake lights are just one of a number of anecdotal methods for predicting quakes, an
