Rumour about an Earthquake-Tsunami on 22 July 2009
Unfounded

July 22 Tsunami Hoax Debunked

The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) has received
several inquiries from the media and the general public
about a rumour circulating in emails and blogs recently
that a major tsunami triggered by a solar eclipse on July
22nd 2009 will devastate the southeast Asian region.

EOS affirms that, to date, scientists have not found any
significant correlation between solar eclipses and
earthquakes. Since 1900, for example, of 82 earthquakes
greater than magnitude 8 worldwide, only two occurred
close to the time of a solar eclipse. However, these were
not only partial eclipses but also far from the locations
of the earthquakes.

At present, no scientific methods or technologies exist
that can pinpoint precisely the timing, location or
magnitude of earthquakes. Longer-term forecasts, however,
have been made on the basis of scientific information. For
example, scientists from the Earth Observatory of
Singapore and their Indonesian colleagues have forecast
that another large earthquake off the west coast of
Sumatra is likely within the next few decades. More
details on this study can be found here:

WestSumatranEarthquakeAndTsunami/index.php

Singapore is well protected from the threat of an
earthquake-generated tsunami because it is not directly
exposed to open ocean but surrounded by a number of land
masses. A study completed in December 2008, by the Nanyang
Technological University and the National University of
Singapore, showed that a tsunami generated by rupture of a
very large earthquake fault beneath the South China Sea
would take about 10 hours to reach Singapore by which time
most of the wave energy would have dissipated, resulting
in only a moderate rise in sea level (less than a metre).

The EOS reiterates that there is no scientific evidence to
support the rumour that an earthquake-tsunami in the
southeast Asian region linked to the solar eclipse on 22
July 2009 will occur.
