CHINESE EARTHQUAKES & THE COMBINED 36 YSC SERIES 1 & 2


Moon - Sun Finance


Appendix for the paper 9/56 year Cycles: Earthquakes & Volcanoes.

The Sichuan earthquake of May 12, 2008 occurred within the 9/56 year seismic cycle as established below. 


Chinese earthquakes can be correlated with the 9/56 year grid in Table B. A listing, compiled from the National Geophysical Data Center, has been given in Table A. For major quakes (magnitude => 7.0) in the period 1900 to mid 2008, there were some 34 earthquakes, of which 14 occurred in the 10 months beginning July 15 of those years in the combined 36 ysc Series 1 & 2 (see Table B). This yielded acceptable significance at p < .01.

Importantly, there were 7 earthquakes in the 1.5 months commencing July 15 of those years in Table B, which compared with the 1.1 that would have been expected by chance. Of the total 34 earthquakes in Table A, 12 occurred in the 49 days between July 10 and August 28, which was in contrast to an expected 4.6. 

Major Chinese earthquakes were least likely to happen in Sequences 22 to 36 of the 9/56 year cycle (see Table C), with only 3 events in 15 56 year sequences ( 

US and Western European financial crises also fall preferentially in the same 9/56 year pattern found in Table B (Financial Crises & The 9/56 Year Panic Cycle). This pattern also applies to the timing of the beginning of volcanic eruptions on the island of Hawaii (see Appendix). These 9/56 year cycle can be intimately linked to cycles of the Moon and Sun (The Moon, The Sun & The 9/56 Year Panic Cycle).
