Despite the signing of the Nuclear Weapons Control Agreement, the echo of the nuclear tests carried out by China and France has not been completely silenced. A team of Canadian geologists is investigating the consequences of these trials and has already begun publishing the results of the work.
According to the report of provisional conclusions, 65% of earthquakes in the last 45 years are due to nuclear tests. According to Canadian geologists, the nuclear explosions that China and France have carried out in the last two years in the next 10-15 years will occur throughout the planet. Although they do not produce violent earthquakes, as geologists say, it is not possible to predict that this is the case, large land movements will occur in the short and medium term.
