AP floods may lead to quakes — Scientist

One of the probable reasons for the occurance of earthquakes is injection of water in the Earth or its withdrawal from there which increases or reduces the subsurface pressure, Singh said.

He also appealed the government agencies, academic institutions and scientists involved in earthquake-related studies to monitor Andhra Pradesh and surrounding areas which are prone to earthquakes due to flooding.

He said the studies may help in saving lives and property from any big disaster.
