EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION: A GLOBAL REVIEW AND LOCAL RESEARCH

摘要: Summary: This article reviews natural pre-earthquake phenomena such as gravity variations, radon emanation, anomalous electric field and changes in meteorological parameters like temperature relative humidity. The concept of Earthquake Preparation Zone which is the first sign an imminent earthquake described. According to this all ground based signals are generated over zone. size zone dependent upon under preparation may have a radius more than 300 km for magnitude 6. Furthermore, use dedicated satellites monitor precursors from space has been presented. In addition research, countries involved research on prediction include France, Russia, Italy, Mexico, Japan, UK, Ukraine USA. A plan also presented co-locating tele-metered network continuous monitoring some with existing seismic stations prone areas northern Pakistan. present global trends source effusive optimism successful become reality near future. As matter fact, recent results promise future hitherto difficult about Where?, When? How Strong? Section 6 paper describes work Prediction/Forecasting carried out locally at Center Studies. sample result Statistical Method gives intermediate term forecasting earthquakes given. novel technique recording variations distant was started assistance Azerbaijan. obtained thereof
