Is preemptive earthquake discharge possible? If yes, why seismic counties aren’t doing it?

314 views

So, earthquake is when two plates keep piling on each other and building stress/pressure that reaches a critical point and discharges all this built up energy. Is it possible do preemptively discharge this pressure while it’s still not big enough to cause serious damage? Like, with bombs or something. And if yes, why nobody does it?

It’s possible, but not anytime soon.

We need to improve sensor tech to determine where, and we’d need to experiment on the best solution to relieve pressure. It could end up making things worse

E.g. you vibrate the area to loosen it, but now it’s compacted and more likely to build pressure because it’s denser.
