Dear Cclleagues,
Can someone help me having the contact of Pr. Evgueni
Dolginov of the State University of Moscow? I
unsuccessfully tried to contact him(no personnal email
ontact on the internet)via the email contact of his
university.
I am in fact interrested in knowing more about his
theory of "latitudinal cracks" following his 2004
interview with the russian online journal Pravda
(http://english.pravda.ru/science/tech/30-12-2004/7557-earthquake-0)
in which he said for instance"...there exist
latitudinal lineaments (cracks of the earth's core),
which pose potential danger in terms of seismic
activity. If we are to follow equatorial crack wstward
of South East Asia, we could expect rather serious
seismic cataclysms in Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon,
Nigeria and Gabon,”.
I attach below the full text of his statement.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Russian scientist Evgeny Dolginov has warned of a
series of yet another wave of major earthquakes to hit
the countries situated within the equatorial zone.
“I would like to warn the countries situated in close
proximity to the equator about the possibility of
major quakes in that area,” stated professor at the
Russian People's Friendship University, director of
geological-mineral sciences Evgeny Dolgivov.
“According to my theory, there exist latitudinal
lineaments (cracks of the earth's core), which pose
potential danger in terms of seismic activity. If we
are to follow equatorial crack westward of South East
Asia, we could expect rather serious seismic
cataclysms in Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Nigeria and
Gabon,” informed the professor.
According to him, earthquakes are also likely to hit
equatorial countries of South America. Southern part
of Ecuador and the islands in close proximity to it
will be most susceptible to the quake. Should the sea
quake occur, the wave can easily cover the entire
southern part of Colombia, Ecuador and northern part
of Peru, noted Dolginov Ph.D.
Dolginov has come up with a new theory of latitudinal
lineaments, which according to the professor, had
emerged during earth's early stages of development,
reports “Interfax”.
Such cracks tend to become seismically active from
time to time. In a place where such cracks intersect
seismically active zones (i.e. meridian), these zones
become most dangerous in regards to earthquakes. This
was exactly what happened in South-East Asia,
considers the scientist.
