Earthquake Prediction through Animal Behavior: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a review of the work done in earthquake prediction using abnormal animal behavior. The earthquake prediction can be done using the abnormal behavior of animals preceding earthquake occurrence in seismically active region because of their relatively more capability than humans of perceiving certain kind of geophysical stimuli which may precede earthquake. The international work specially carried out in China, Japan, USA has been summarized. Further, the data requirement for the earthquake prediction in the Indian context has been discussed.

Earthquake Prediction by Animals: Evolution and Sensory Perception
Animals living within seismically active regions are subjected episodically to intense ground shaking that can kill individuals through burrow collapse, egg destruction, and tsunami action. Although anecdotal and retrospective reports of animal behavior suggest that although many organisms may be able to detect an impending seismic event, no plausible scenario has been presented yet through whi...
متن کاملAssociating Factors With Public Preparedness Behavior Against Earthquake: A Review of Iranian Research Literature
Local preparedness against earthquakes has been recently highlighted in research and policies on disaster management and risk reduction promotion in Iran. To advance the understanding of public preparedness and how it can be applied in diverse localities, further information is required about the predictors of people’s adoption of mitigation activities and earthquake preparedness. A synth...

Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural phenomena which has human and financial losses. The existence of an efficient prediction system and early warning system will be useful for reducing effects of destroying earthquake. In this research, the soil temperature time-series data, obtained from three meteorological station, using three filters (Fourier, Wavelet and Logarithmic Different...
متن کاملPredicting Seismic Slope Displacements of Embankment Dams Using Fuzzy Systems
Iran, as a leading country in the dam construction industry, is located in one of the earthquake-prone regions of the world. Dams are important sources of hydroelectric power. Failure of these structures causes catastrophic damage. Therefore, evaluating the behavior of dams under seismic loading is an important issue. The present study focuses on the prediction of the slope displacements of emb...
متن کاملFrontiers in Source Modeling for Near-source Ground- Motion Prediction
Accurate prediction of the intensity and variability of strong ground motions for future large earthquakes depends on our ability to simulate realistic earthquake source models. While there has been considerable progress in characterizing the complexity of earthquake ruptures, recent devastating earthquakes have exhibited rather unexpected behavior. Moderate-size events occurred with surprising...
