What's the difference between fish scale clouds and earthquake clouds?

The differences between fish scale clouds and earthquake clouds are as follows:

1, with different definitions, people say that ichthyosis cloud is a kind of earthquake cloud, and ichthyosis cloud is called cumulus translucent cloud in meteorology, which is a weather phenomenon when strong cold air comes in autumn and winter. Earthquake cloud is a kind of cloud that predicts earthquakes according to the classification of non-meteorological clouds. The international research is superficial, so far there is no unified view.

2. Due to the different heights and thicknesses of clouds, semi-transparent cumulus clouds are thin and white, and often arranged neatly in one or two directions. There are obvious gaps between clouds, and even the edges of seamless clouds are bright. The so-called seismic clouds are mostly altocumulus or stratocumulus.

Fish scale cloud is not an earthquake cloud. The so-called earthquake cloud is a kind of cloud that has been misinformed to predict earthquakes in advance. At present, there is no accurate definition, and meteorological or geological majors do not recognize it. It is mainly circulated in China and Japanese folk. Because of the lack of the most basic definition of earthquake clouds, it is difficult to generalize their characteristics as long as they look strange.

All kinds of "earthquake clouds" on the Internet are mostly cumulus clouds or stratocumulus clouds, because these two kinds of clouds are easy to form a network (fish scale), wavy (ribbed), flocculent, transparent, radial and pod-like appearance, sometimes appearing in the evening or morning, stained with the color of sunset or sunrise, and even more suspected of "a vision in the sky".

However, altocumulus and stratocumulus, including other clouds suspected to be "earthquake clouds", all have their corresponding genera and species in the scientific classification of clouds, and their causes have scientific explanations, so they cannot be used to predict earthquakes. Many people think these clouds are "weird" because they seldom look up at them. For meteorological observers, these "weird" clouds are not weird or rare.
