where,
Pr = received power (W)
Pt = transmitted power (W)

• Transmit frequency: 1500 Hz
• Transmit pulse length: 100 ms.

Title: METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF EARTHQUAKE PRECURSORS
Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel use of a SODAR
system to detect precursor of a major earthquake of intensity not less
than 5.0 on the Richter scale. The requirement for the SODAR to be able
to detect a possible major earthquake is that the epicenter should not be
beyond a distance of about 250 Kms from the position of the SODAR.

Statistically, there is a
major earthquake in India
after every 6.8 years. A
deadly earthquake in
Himalayas is overdue.
When tectonic plates push against each other, a huge
amount of potential energy builds up at the plate
boundaries. In other words, potential energy is the
energy that is stored in the rocks because of tectonic
forces or stress.
An earthquake is the kinetic energy that is suddenly
released after enough pressure builds up along a fault.
 Of course, some part of energy goes into breaking and
heating
 Earth is heterogeneous so the velocity of propagation
is different in different materials- sharp slap divided

26 January 2011 (0846 IST) Bhuj earthquake
Loss
The quake killed around 20,000 people (including 18 in South
eastern Pakistan), injured another 167,000 and destroyed nearly 400,000
homes. The shock waves spread 700 km. 21 districts were affected and
600,000 people left homeless. Total property damage was estimated at
$5.5 billion and rising. In Kutch, the quake destroyed about 60% of food
and water supplies and around 258,000 houses .
So long we are living happily, we feel we will never
face a disaster-when we face, we are not there to even
to share our experiences. Also, even if we share our
experiences, there are very few who believe us.

KATHMANDU—The United Nations and numerous non-
governmental organizations seeking to assist quake-stricken
Nepal are blaming the country’s weak government, with a
reputation for inefficiency and corruption, for hindering the
massive relief effort.
Immediate Aid is necessary but it also makes a
country lethargic and drains out the initial outrage
to do something to save the society from the blunts
of earthquake-after all earthquakes do not strike
on daily basis.

We need to develop geo-radars to map the interior of Earth and keep a watch. Right now,
depth of penetration by EM waves(10-100 MHz) is the limiting factor.
Earthquakes usually begin deep in the ground. The point in Earth where the rocks
first break is called the focus, also known as the hypocenter, of the quake. The focus
of most earthquakes lies less than 45 miles (72 kilometers) beneath the surface,
though the deepest known focuses have been nearly 450 miles (700 kilometers)
below the surface. The point on the surface of Earth directly above the focus is
known as the epicenter of the quake. The strongest shaking is usually felt near the
epicenter.
By the time a
seismometer
vibrates,
earthquake is
already at your
doorsteps and
there is no need
for any precursor
detection. But
these readings
are essential.

But if I = 10 S, then M =1

P-waves travel through solid,
liquid, and gaseous materials.
When some P-waves move
from the ground to the lower
atmosphere, the sound wave
that is produced can
sometimes be heard by
humans and animals.
S-waves or secondary
waves are body waves, They
are slower than P-waves and
can only move through solid
materials.

Earth is a massive system and therefore, its movement will always be
fetal. But if there is any escape of energy (heat, EM/infrasonic), mass
(gases, water vapor, particulate matter), moment (mechanical energy),
with the sophisticated equipment, it can be detected. Of course, it
requires networking.

General form of the gravity wave spectrum in the atmosphere. The
horizontal axis is the vertical wavelength of the gravity waves, while
the vertical axis is the relative energy density (adapted from
Gardner et al.). The numbers by the lines indicate the spectral slope
in each region. The numbers on the horizontal axis are the power of
ten for each tick mark (i.e. 3 means 103 = 1000). The gravity waves of
larger scale cascade their energy rapidly to smaller scales until
turbulent process continue passing the energy to smaller scales.

Let us thank our ancestors / mythology
• Cobra is the most intelligent reptile which can see a man eye-to-eye
• They knew that low frequencies do not require Ears for sensing
• Cobra is sensitive to seismic vibrations : 50% body touch
• Before an earthquake strikes, charges on the earth’s surface increase. It
has been found that snakes respond to these charges and
become vertical in order to minimize the potential gradient between
the head and tail.
• Low maintenance cost and reliability: Can live for One year, without
food.
• Age ~ 28 years. Several times More than age of any modern equipment.
• Biological precursors are economical-High indigenous availability
• To stabilize, you need broad base and flexible columns
• To escape from rubbles, you got to be flexible, live in a circular hole.
• You can’t do this, earthquake has the capacity to kill like Cobra
• Wish we had understood much more through Sheshnag- the symbol
of great Indian earthquake mythology.

balanced on top of a cobra. When any of these animals move,
the Earth trembles and shakes.
Seven serpents share the task of guarding the seven sections of

Vishnuji-Destiny (Flow of Time)
Lord Shiva-TIME:
Death
Useful becomes useless
The energy that fulfills
this task, is called
Mahakal
Total annihilation
m = E /C2
Death and birth are interlinked as one is the result of the other
Material world is a temporary manifestation of Lord
Incarnates
Under such a situation where
life and death is part of divine,
it is in the hands of LORD, it is
his domain…

  • 44. When tectonic plates push against each other, a huge amount of potential energy builds up at the plate boundaries. In other words, potential energy is the energy that is stored in the rocks because of tectonic forces or stress. An earthquake is the kinetic energy that is suddenly released after enough pressure builds up along a fault.  Of course, some part of energy goes into breaking and heating  Earth is heterogeneous so the velocity of propagation is different in different materials- sharp slap divided over n number of packets
  • 45. 26 January 2011 (0846 IST) Bhuj earthquake Loss The quake killed around 20,000 people (including 18 in South eastern Pakistan), injured another 167,000 and destroyed nearly 400,000 homes. The shock waves spread 700 km. 21 districts were affected and 600,000 people left homeless. Total property damage was estimated at $5.5 billion and rising. In Kutch, the quake destroyed about 60% of food and water supplies and around 258,000 houses . So long we are living happily, we feel we will never face a disaster-when we face, we are not there to even to share our experiences. Also, even if we share our experiences, there are very few who believe us.

  • 49. KATHMANDU—The United Nations and numerous non- governmental organizations seeking to assist quake-stricken Nepal are blaming the country’s weak government, with a reputation for inefficiency and corruption, for hindering the massive relief effort. Immediate Aid is necessary but it also makes a country lethargic and drains out the initial outrage to do something to save the society from the blunts of earthquake-after all earthquakes do not strike on daily basis.
  • 50. Cyclone prediction is only an academic exercise. Now track prediction has taken over
  • 51. We need to develop geo-radars to map the interior of Earth and keep a watch. Right now, depth of penetration by EM waves(10-100 MHz) is the limiting factor. Earthquakes usually begin deep in the ground. The point in Earth where the rocks first break is called the focus, also known as the hypocenter, of the quake. The focus of most earthquakes lies less than 45 miles (72 kilometers) beneath the surface, though the deepest known focuses have been nearly 450 miles (700 kilometers) below the surface. The point on the surface of Earth directly above the focus is known as the epicenter of the quake. The strongest shaking is usually felt near the epicenter.
  • 52.
  • 53. By the time a seismometer vibrates, earthquake is already at your doorsteps and there is no need for any precursor detection. But these readings are essential. log E = 5.24 + 1.44M M5 = 2.8 x 1012 joules. M6 = 7.8 x 1013 joules M7 = 2.1 x 1015 joules M8 = 5.7 x 1016 joules M9 = 1.6 x 1018 joules M=log I/S S is 10-4 cm at a distance of 100 km. If I = S, then M = 0 But if I = 10 S, then M =1 Charles Richter, 1935)
  • 54. P-waves travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. When some P-waves move from the ground to the lower atmosphere, the sound wave that is produced can sometimes be heard by humans and animals. S-waves or secondary waves are body waves, They are slower than P-waves and can only move through solid materials.

  • 69. General form of the gravity wave spectrum in the atmosphere. The horizontal axis is the vertical wavelength of the gravity waves, while the vertical axis is the relative energy density (adapted from Gardner et al.). The numbers by the lines indicate the spectral slope in each region. The numbers on the horizontal axis are the power of ten for each tick mark (i.e. 3 means 103 = 1000). The gravity waves of larger scale cascade their energy rapidly to smaller scales until turbulent process continue passing the energy to smaller scales.
