A magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of California. The pre-warning of this earthquake was received on the smartphones of the locals.
It is said that earthquakes cannot be predicted. But experts from Google and the University of California are active in the development of technology that sends early warning notifications of earthquakes to smartphones. If this effort is successful, it will be possible to predict earthquakes in the future, according to the BBC.
A network of 700 seismometers has been built to detect earthquakes. On the other hand, Google is using the mobile network. Almost all smartphones running on the Google Android operating system have an accelerometer. It is very sensitive. If you hold it horizontally to view something on the phone, of course, the screen will also become horizontal. Using this, Google has created an Android earthquake warning system.
If the phone user allows this system to be used, the phone will be notified of the initial tremors of the earthquake. "The Android earthquake warning system analyzes the data coming from the phone and predicts in which area an earthquake is coming," writes the BBC.
