Re: Another Earth Quake today 22 Oct

Probably becasue the sun come close to the earth in winter and there is some sort of gravitational forces coming from sun that inceases the activity in earth's crust. This is my guess only.

Re: Another Earth Quake today 22 Oct

Oh this was only 10 KM in depth like the one in 2005. It would have caused a lot destruction if lasted for more time.

I don't think that is the case, I might be wrong, but sun coming close to earth should cause temperatures to go up which is not the case in winters.

May Allah swt help Pakistan.

It should be. But the fact is that distance between the Sun and the Earth becomes shorter in Northerns Hemisphere' winter.
