Scientists have made a link between cosmic radiation and earthquakes for the first time.
The CREDO project, initiated in 2016 by the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) in Krakow, Poland, is working to analyze how earthquakes can be predicted by measuring cosmic radiation.
The destruction caused by strong earthquakes could be significantly reduced if scientists learned how to predict where and when they will occur.
A new study from the project found a strong connection between cosmic radiation and earthquakes, although not in a way that anyone expected.
