据塔斯社华盛顿1988年10月5日报道,今后20年内在美国东部很可能发生一次强烈地震。美国国家地震研究中心领导人凯特尔(Robert Ketter)在星期二(1988年10月4日)召开的地震对策讨论会上发表了这样的预报。在可能发生地震的地区中,他提到了孟菲斯(田纳西州)、查尔斯顿(南卡罗来纳州)、波士顿和纽约等地名。他认为,在某一具体地区内发生破坏性地震的概率不大,但是在美国东部某地于2000年以前发生一次地震的可能性约75—95%,而在2010年以前,这种可能性几乎是100%。美国国土上一次最强烈的地震于1811—1812年发生在孟菲斯地区。1886年,查尔斯顿的居民感到了一次强烈的地下震动。在上个世
According to the TASS news agency Washington on October 5, 1988, a strong earthquake is likely to occur in the eastern United States in the next 20 years. Such predictions were made by Robert Ketter, leader of the National Earthquake Research Center, at a quake symposium on Tuesday (October 4, 1988). In areas where an earthquake may occur, he refers to names such as Memphis (Tennessee), Charleston (South Carolina), Boston and New York. He believes there is not a high probability of destructive earthquakes in a particular area, but there is a 75-95% chance of an earthquake somewhere in the eastern United States before the year 2000, and by 2010 this possibility Almost 100%. The strongest earthquake on the United States took place in the Memphis area from 1811 to 1812. In 1886, residents of Charleston felt a strong underground shock. Last life
