Can Animals Predict Natural Disasters
The wounds have healed but the memories haven’t. Natural disasters occur on an almost daily basis throughout the world. Earthquakes, floods, landslides, tornadoes and other disasters claim millions of life each year and cause massive damage to property. If there was somehow a way we could predict these, we could mitigate their effects by quite some extent. Evacuation of people could be done well before any such disasters occurred and the world would be a better place to live in. Obviously the first place we would look for a solution would be technology. Technology has solved some of our biggest problems and continues to do so. Can you help Technology? Scientists have begun to use something called fractals, which are basically mathematical formula of patterns that repeat over time. Using these fractals they are able to make probabilistic predictions of the time, scale and location of different disasters, but accuracy remains a problem. Another m...
