Appendix 5

INDIAN EARTHQUAKES & THE 36 YSC SERIES 1 & 2

Moon - Sun Finance


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


Some 21 earthquakes were presented in the List of Some Significant Earthquakes In India & Its Neighborhood, of which some 13 took place in the 11 months beginning December 1 of those years in Table B this appendix. The expected frequency was around 4.8. The reliability of this listing is debatable, as it only covered 'some significant earthquakes'. There is also very limited information for pre 1800 Indian quakes. The Calcutta earthquake of October 11, 1737 fell in these patterns, but it is questionable how severe this event actually was. The claimed death toll of 300,000 compared with the estimated 20,000 people living in the city at the time.
