Frost quakes hit Chicago. Know what is it?
weather phenomenon known as frost quakes as frigid temperatures griped the area. These occurrences produce distinctive loud booming or popping sounds and trigger minor earthquake-like tremors due to the impact of extremely cold conditions, as per a report. Trent Ford, the state climatologist for Illinois, noted the absence of a formal reporting system for frost quakes, a phenomenon resulting from the rapid freezing of the ground. Despite the lack of an official mechanism, Ford has come across reports of these events through social media channels.
