Scientists Role in Predicting and detecting earthquakes
Scientists are the main people responsible for predicting and detecting these types of disasters. Scientists use equipment such as Seismometers, strain gauges, tilt meters, creep meters, high precision GPS, Terrestrial laser scanning equipment and synthetic aperture radar amongst other equipment to aid them in their research on detecting and predicting earthquakes.
Scientists study topics such as P waves and S waves to further their knowledge on how earthquakes work and how to further prevent their damage and how to detect them. They also study the inside of the earth's layers to be able to understand how these waves of energy travel and what is likely to happen in the future.
Scientists have a role in contacting government authorities and warning systems with information when an earthquake is detected in order for lives and money to be saved. Scientists also record how large an earthquake is once it has been detected.
Scientists are essential in detecting and predicting earthquakes and without them there would be a loss in lives and money when earthquakes occur. Scientists role in detecting, predicting and studying earthquakes has led to better safety measures having been put in place.
