Emergency Management Department: The so-called "earthquake cloud" has no corresponding relationship with earthquakes
Refuse the rumor of "earthquake cloud"! The entire process of cloud formation is completed within the atmosphere. And earthquakes occur within the lithosphere, so there is not enough scientific evidence to prove that clouds can predict the occurrence of earthquakes. The so-called "earthquake clouds" online are mainly two types: high cumulus clouds and stratocumulus clouds. The appearance of high cumulus clouds indicates good weather, while the appearance of stratocumulus clouds represents rainfall and has no one-to-one correspondence with earthquakes. Please distinguish between truth and falsehood, do not believe in rumors, and do not spread rumors.
