how do animals can predic a natural disaster before it hapens?

Question

I've heard that some pets freak out before anural disasters such as an earthquake is about to hapen, and that wild animals flee the area, and I have to admit that I had lived it, when I used to live in Mexico there was an earthquake which epicenter was some where in Durango state. when it reached Zacatecas State, in Jerez (where I used to live) I had just taken a shower and I was watching TV and started feeling a little dizzy, then my momk came out and telled, "Esta Temblando!!" zomg It was an ancient house (literaly, like rebolutionary days house (about 100 years old)) powder started droping fron the high sealing, we went outside at the middle of the yard (which was acually in the middle of the house, and the rooms where around it) the trees started skaking and the lightbulbs (holded by a looooong wire from the sealing) roked in a circle.... I was the most scarry thing I've ever felt, eventhough it was a literaly gentle rocking it didnt destroy anything just like.. *rock*anyways......

I dont know how is it gonna be when there is acually a real one, (I live in CA) anyways I remember that just half an our beofre the earthquake the dogs in the cavalry back room started barking and never stoped untill the earth satared shaking... so is it true that animals can predic natural disasters? and if so, how?

Answer 1

From Wikipedia...

Animals can detect the P-wave or ultrasonic wave generated by a big underground explosion or the rupture of an earthquake, even if the waves waves are too small for humans' senses. These waves travel faster Love and Rayleigh earthquake waves that most strongly shake the ground and causes the most damage. When this happens, animals can detect the incoming earthquake wave, and start behaving agitatedly or nervously.

Others postulate that the animal behavior is simply their response to an increase in low-frequency electromagnetic signals.[7] The University of Colorado has demonstrated that electromagnetic activity can be generated by the fracturing of crystalline rock. Such activity occurs in fault lines before earthquakes. According to recent research, electromagnetic sensors yield statistically valid results in predicting earthquakes — modern science's answer to centuries of human observation of animals.[8]

Some people believe that in these ways, animals sense the immediate onset of earthquakes. In support of this claim, instances are cited when people have witnessed flight of animals just before an earthquake disaster. In fact, according to the Chief conservator of forests for the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, a few minutes before the killer tsunami waves generated by an underwater earthquake hit the Indian coastline in December 2004, a 500-strong herd of blackbucks rushed away from the coastal areas to the safety of a nearby hilltop. Since the beginning of recorded history, observations of unusual animal behavior before earthquakes have been recorded by people from almost all civilizations. The Chinese began a systematic study of this unusual animal behavior and in December 1974 predicted a major earthquake that did, in fact, occur in February 1975. But skeptics claim to debunk nearly all such observations. In fact, the 1975 prediction relied most heavily on a series of strong foreshocks. The animal behavior reports are often ambiguous and not consistently observed. There is little evidence for animals being able to sense impending earthquakes, although it is likely they can sense the initial, weaker P-waves before people. Seismometers remain much more sensitive than even the animals, however.

In folklore, some animals have had more reports of being able to predict earthquakes than others, especially dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and other smaller animals. There have been reports with elephants, as well. Goats, cows, and most larger animals are generally reported as being less able to predict earthquakes.

Japan has a long tradition associating catfish with earthquake prediction. From this idea emerged a long university research programme concluding in 2004 in which it was proposed that the (established) high sensitivity of catfish to electric fields was involved in detecting fields of a few hertz because of piezoelectric effects on deeply buried quartz crystals. Actual monitoring of catfish and correlation with earthquakes gave results that are not promising.

nope, animals won't have the capacity to foretell / see the destiny to any extent further than we are able to. in spite of if, animals are much less psychological and greater organic than us, and so as that they have an inclination to have greater desirable senses (listening to, and so on.) so contained in relation to some organic mess ups, their senses, and the reality that they pay attention to their senses by way of fact they do no longer look to be linked to the internet or watching penal complex wreck, propose that they could experience that something is incorrect, in the previous we people do. and that i assume that, by ability of definition, "are awaiting" facilitates you to tell approximately something in the previous it happens. And "happens" ability that it impacts our senses. so i assume that, if an animal can react to an upcoming catastrophe by way of fact, for it, that catastrophe is already taking off to happen, yet for us no longer something is yet seen, then as much as a element, from an etymological point of view, animals are able to "pre-dict" mess ups. yet in certainty, of direction, they can't. interior the comparable vein, once you're us civilised people, and you fly over some bush in a helicopted, and you notice a huge bush hearth drawing close, and you fly to a primitive village you be attentive to, and you tell them "in 2 days a hearth would be on you, run to your life!", is it good, or no longer, to assert which you "anticipated" the hearth. Etymologically, sure. interior the certainty of the inhabitants of that primitive village, sure. on your certainty, no. desire this facilitates
