KARACHI: There is likely threat of an earthquake in Arabian Sea, however, accurately predicting such seismic events remains challenging, Met Office expert said on Tuesday.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Safaraz has stated that a junction of tectonic plates exists in 50 kilometers in south of Makran in Arabian Sea. “An earthquake or tsunami could happen around the junction of tectonic plates,” Sarfaraz stated.

This region had experienced an earthquake with an intensity of 8 on the Richter scale, and the recurrence of a tremor of such magnitude could also pose a tsunami risk for Karachi, as mentioned by the weather expert.
Iran’s Bundar Abbas, a port city on the Arabian Sea coast this morning felt 5.3 intensity earthquake.
The Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), a Netherlands-based organization known for its seismic predictions, had recently predicted a major earthquake in Pakistan within 48 hours.
The SSGEOS specializes in monitoring fluctuations of electric charge in the atmosphere near sea level, which they claim are indicative of regions where stronger seismic activity might occur, typically within a range of 1 to 9 days.
While the organization emphasizes that the regions they mark as potentially affected are approximations, they provide valuable insights into potential earthquake-prone areas.
In a recent prediction, the Dutch scientist working with SSGEOS reported a significant surge in electric activity along the Chaman fault lines in Pakistan.
