A Smartphone that can predict earthquakesA natural disaster more difficult to predict and prepare an earthquake. There are technologies that can predict when earthquakes can occur but are more expensive to develop worldwide.However, a group of scientists think that the technology found in mobile intelligent enough to develop and predicting earthquakes before they occur.At first glance, the idea makes sense, since our intelligent phones have everything you need to provide the necessary data to a central system: GPS, akselerometër and data connection. Above all, the number of mobile intelligent is greater than the number of seismic sensors.Researchers have discovered that GNSS data from intelligent phones can predict major earthquakes, which may cause displacement of soil, but can not predict earthquake seismic scale, which can only cause vibration of the earth.Researchers compared the warnings of some resources using an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 putative along with real data from the earthquake that occurred in Japan in 2011, which was magnitude 9.0.Results showed that the data are only required to earthquakes seismic scale, and have a large number of people to have phone with GPS. For example, if the cell of about 5 thousands, but in a greater metropolitan area provide accurate data via GPS and GNSS, then we can predict and analyze an earthquake before it happens.Such a pilot project experimenting in Chile. The goal is to create an early warning network to mobile intelligent. These devices can also be used by the people to predict earthquakes.
