Following the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in western China, one question has been raised: are these kinds of disasters preventable?
Artifical intelligence plays a great role in seismology, but the structures within the Earth are simply too complicated to predict.has exponentially broadened our horizons, taking the impossible and making it a reality — but it seems as if even technology falls short when it comes to Mother Nature.
But things started to shift when he and his colleagues utilized machine learning technology to collect data from seismic waveforms all across Southern California, making templates and snapshots of each.Two million previously hidden tiny quakes from 2008 to 2017 were identified and subsequently, an entire network of faults and features previous searches were unable to pinpoint were found.
To clarify, “An earthquake prediction means you’re specifying when that future earthquake will happen very precisely,” Nissen said. An example of this would be saying, with confidence, that a magnitude seven earthquake will happen in’s crust that are consistently moving. Eventually, their edges may get stuck due to friction, causing stress to build up as two of these plates collide — at a war of sliding past one another.
