Why is it easy to rain in earthquake places? The weather can be predicted, but can earthquakes be predicted?

Why is it easier to rain in places just after the earthquake? Whenever there is an earthquake with large magnitude or strong destructive power, the biggest problem faced by rescue is not only the pressing time, but also the continuous heavy rainfall has become one of the most influential factors in the process. This is why many people think that it seems that it is easier to rain where the earthquake just happened. However, is there really any close relationship between earthquake and rain? As for the rain (if it is not big enough to cause floods), it will bring inconvenience to our travel in our daily life, but it has no other big impact, so not many people will pay special attention to it. However, for places where earthquakes have occurred, this is different. Rain will lead to loose soil (especially in mountainous areas), and mudslides are prone to occur in places where major earthquakes have occurred, which is undoubtedly a great risk factor for people trapped underground.

Objectively speaking, whether it is earthquake or rain, it is actually just a common natural phenomenon on the earth. Every day, there are more than 10,000 earthquakes all over the world. Just because we are always in the same place at the same time, those earthquakes with smaller magnitude are difficult for us to feel subjectively. Therefore, earthquakes (directly perceived magnitude is relatively larger) have become natural disasters in many people's minds. Rain seems to be common, not to mention those places with rainy season. As long as there is no drought, it is generally a matter of time.

If we want to know clearly whether there is a correlation between earthquakes and rain, then we need to know how earthquakes and rain are formed first. The formation of rainfall begins with atmospheric circulation, and the essence of earthquake is that the earth's crust releases energy, which leads to the generation of seismic waves and the ground vibration. In short, the location and principle of earthquake and rainfall are very different. The former belongs to the lithosphere (inner ring) of the earth, and the latter starts from the atmosphere (outer ring) of the earth.

From the perspective of the earth's water cycle, the rainfall process is an indispensable part; For plants on land far from rivers, precipitation has become the only way for them to replenish fresh water. Why does it keep raining, and the water resources on the earth will not increase? This is because rain itself is water vapor evaporated from the surface due to cold, and natural precipitation is the most important way for human beings to recycle fresh water resources.

Although the main forms of rain are convective rain, topographic precipitation, frontal rain and typhoon rain, there are also differences between downpour and Mao Mao rain, but their formation process needs to go through two main processes: condensation and condensation, or the collision and increase of cloud droplets. At the same time, the rain we see actually contains not only the main component water, but also a certain amount of nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other substances. If the rain is accompanied by lightning, there may be a small amount of ozone molecules, impurities and various floating dust in the water.

I believe everyone is familiar with the weather forecast, and the information that travelers are most concerned about should be the weather. And our understanding of weather information in the future is mainly through weather forecast. However, have you ever heard that earthquakes can be warned in advance? As far as the current scientific level of mankind is concerned, it is difficult to realize earthquake prediction in advance in a short time. What we can do is to improve the seismic grade of buildings and learn more about the defense methods of earthquakes in peacetime, rather than relying on earthquake prediction.

In short, earthquakes have nothing to do with rain, one is the working part of the earth's water circulation system, and the other is the activity process of the earth's crust releasing energy. No matter from the formation position or the formation principle, there is no necessary connection between them. Rainy earthquakes are common, and only to a certain extent will they become natural disasters. Rain can be prevented in advance by weather forecast, but earthquakes can only be dealt with more scientifically by learning relevant knowledge. It is not that it rains more easily in places after earthquakes, but that places with disasters have attracted more people's attention.
