detection of earthquakes and tsunamis using through gsm
Abstract
Humanity is always under the threat of earthquakes. Anatolian peninsula is one of the well-known area which amongst the areas endangered by earthquakes. During the history many dramatic examples have been occurred. In these earthquakes many people either died or have been injured. In addition, lots of damage in this area has been occurred. More west, in the Sea of Marmara, these earthquakes have also initiated Tsunamis which hit the coastline and caused secondary damages. In this paper GSM-based seismicalert system that could warn before an earthquake strikes.Earthquakes strike without warning. The resulting damagecan be minimized and lives can be saved if people living inthe earthquake-prone area are already prepared to survivethe strike. This requires a warning before strong groundmotion from the earthquake arrival. Such a warning systemis possible because of energy wave released at the epicenterof the earth quake travels slower than light. The warningsignal from the earthquake epicenter can be transmitted todifferent places using satellite communication network,fiberoptics
network, pager service, Cell phone services ora combination of these. The satellite-based network is idealwhen an alert system has to cover a large country likeIndia. For earthquake-prone states like Gujarat, a seismicalert system using the global system for mobilecommunication network spread throughout the state isproposed here. This system does not try to find theepicenter or fault line caused by the earthquake. It simplymonitors the earth vibrations and generates alert signalwhen the level of earth vibrations crosses a threshold.
