9/56 YEAR CYCLE: PERUVIAN EARTHQUAKES

APPENDIX 11

MAJOR PERUVIAN EARTHQUAKES: 1600 - 2007

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

The National Geophysical Data Center gave 56 large quakes for Peru since 1600 (see Table A, this appendix). Of this total, 26 were found in those 9/56 year patterns presented in Table B this appendix, which was significant at p < .001. Remarkably, 13 events occurred in only four 56 year sequences in Table B (Sqs 12, 21, 30 & 39), where as only 4.0 could have been expected by chance.
