| Summary: | Earthquake is
one of the most destructive
natural
disasters that kill many people and des
troy a lot of properties.
Therefore
,
it is highly important
to
know
well
ahead
the
occurrence
of earthquakes in order to reduce the number of
v
ictims and material losses.
Earthquake prediction i
s one
solution to reduce
such
disastrous
effect.
The Earth’s electric
field signal
i
s one of
potential
feature
s
that can be used
for
earthquake prediction
generated from the released energy
through a sudde
n dislocation of the segment in the earth’s
crust
, t
his signal has become one of the potential features to
predict the earthquake
,
since it has significant changes in the
amplitude of the s
ignal prior to the earthquake.
The
significant
changes
of the Earth
’s electric field signals
prior to the
earthquake
are detected
and utilized i
n this work. This paper
present
s
the development of
the Graphical based
monitoring
system
for
the earth’s electric field
.
The system uses a
graphical user interface (GUI) develope
d using MATLAB ®.
The work is illustrated on
earthquake
data
which occurred in
Greece, between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2008. In that
period of time
, thirteen earthquakes had occurred. Six
of them
were recorded with magnitudes greater than Ms=5R (5R),
while
s
even
of them were recorded with magnitudes greater
than Ms=6R (6R) |
