Experts respond to questions about flare, receding Akko Beach water after earthquake

Ammon News - Dr. Eid Tarzi and Dr. Mahmoud Qaryouti, two experts in earthquake research, ruled out the possibility of a tsunami as a result of the 6.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey on Monday evening.
The flare in the sky of Turkey at the time of earthquakes, according to Tarzi in his interview with Ammon, is a "discharge of ions" of charges in the rocks that are expelled out of the rocks and reach the atmosphere, giving this electrical interpretation for only a little period of time.
This situation occurs as layers move and collide, and it is a result of the energy discharge that follows an earthquake that produces sounds, energy, and heat.
He noted that if the earthquake site is close to the sea, it is common for warnings to be given at the time of the earthquake to stay away from beaches, but that warning was later withdrawn in Turkey.
He indicated that the majority of the earthquake's movement was horizontal (north and south), so a tsunami did not occur there.
According to Qaryouti, the images circulating of the water receding from the "Akko Beach" may be the result of plate tectonic activity brought on by the Turkish earthquake, but a tsunami seems improbable.
In his conversation with Ammon, he also mentioned that the flare in the sky that was seen during earthquakes was caused by a crack in the rift, and that "the crack gives rise to sounds and sparks."
He emphasized that Jordan's seismic activity is normal and that nothing unusual is happening.
The earthquake was expected
The earthquake that struck Turkey was expected, according to astronomer Imad Mujahid, who also noted that the moon was in a conjunction phase on Monday evening, which attracts water and rocks and is most likely what causes earthquakes.
Mujahid told Ammon, that the earthquake was expected because the moon was in a new phase on Monday and the tide would be at its highest level at that time.
He noted that "New Moon Phase and Gravity" were most likely to be responsible for Monday's earthquake.
