ABOUT THE PREDICTION OF VRANCEA EARTHQUAKES (ROMANIA)

Abstract

This paper makes an attempt to show the stage of earthqua­kes prediction researches in Romania. At the same time, the authors wished to drew attention of everyone working in earthqua­ke forecasting (i.e. seismologists, physicists, mathematicians etc.) - on the serious limitations of the standard earthquake prediction methods. This because seismology by itself, without geophysics (solid earth physics), geology and geodesy, cannot fully, compre­hensively, validate earthquake prediction.
