Development of experimental station for earthquake prediction

December 2004 recorded a tragic scene of human suffering caused by Asian Tsunami disaster. Due to fault displacement within the convergent boundary zone between the Indian oceanic plate and the Eurasia continental plate, an earthquake results large tsunamis disaster which killed over 165,000 people...
