For those who are familiar with the metric system: At 1:45: "But plates are often more than 25 kilometers thick. That's twice as deep as humans have ever dug, so it would be pretty difficult to get monitoring equipment deep enough."
Arlean Singh I believe that they are trying to say the Sand Andreas is a person in their joke, and a fault is where earthquakes happen (correct me if I’m wrong) but it also could be the result of somebody doing something. San Francisco is on San Andreas fault (biggest fault in California) and when an earth quake hits SF, it’s San Andreas fault. Hope this helped 🥳🥳🥳😁
I believe all new highrise in Japan must be built with quake-resistant foundation. I've seen such foundation in a museum in Nara once. They're basically giant ball bearings. Counterweights at the top help too, but they are mainly to reduce swaying in the wind.
I wonder if releasing the energy manually could be an option. Like, preparing the scene to evacuate everyone, proof the buildings, then detonating carefully placed explosives to trigger the quake and be safe for a while. Of course, that would only be attempted near a city after a lot of tests, and I doubt we can put explosives deep enough, however since fracking already does have an incidence on earthquakes, I guess it's within the realm of possibilities to trigger one voluntary.
I imagine Quantum Computing will be that breakthrough. A computer with so much processing power that they may well be able to model the Earth to a degree that makes these predictions possible.
The image of two tectonic plates rubbing together and smiling afterwards like they've orgasmed simultaneously is what I'm gonna imagine everytime an earthquake's on the news from now on.
What I think would be more helpful is actually converting the various moment-magnitude values into peak-ground acceleration (PGAs) - these values are actually used in earthquake/seismic engineering as a measure of how much force is exerted on buildings. Another one is the shake patterns from an earthquake. If these two are well-documented, it'd be much easier to design future buildings as well as future building codes that would be able to resist earthquakes as we can test them against simulated earthquakes, either with a software or with physical model.
I would curious to read about any research around applying "deep learning" to earthquake prediction? Are there any public datasets I could examine? I'm hoping to do a video on my channel about Earthquake data. (Wonderful video!)
Try to visit facebook page ' Forecasting Earthquakes and the Events - through patterned observations '... maybe it can help you get an idea about earthquake predictions...
Because they are the product of intricate dynamics that occur deep inside the Earth's crust, earthquakes are unpredictable. Stress accumulates throughout time as a result of the movement of the tectonic plates, which are enormous sections of the Earth's surface. An earthquake results from the release of this tension. However, because the processes involved are not fully understood, it is extremely difficult to estimate the exact date and location of these events. Although scientists are always trying to enhance monitoring and prediction techniques, it is still very difficult to predict earthquakes with any degree of accuracy.
true story when i was in 8th standard, my city decided to do a big drill about earthquake. Basically every office , school public transport like metro had to do it on the same day. so the government can check it's disaster relief preparedness. My friend who i think is very smart asks me whether the government would somehow create a big earthquake. I thought she was joking but she actually believed that an actual earthquake is going to take place.
The x-ray tech developed from the piratical accelerators so sensitive they can measure stress in rocks only we use gamma rays and detectors all around the planet with a single active em-miter at a time. Also got to filter out all other gamma rays from space so need a large well timed array of satellites to capture as much activity as possible so we can do post processing on the sensor data to filter it out. The swarm would have to be so big and reach all around the solar system to find all possible sources in our cosmic neighbor hood but I have hope in humanity a little bit.
There is more to it. Look up "SuspiciousObservers". Ben Davidson has predicted lots of earthquakes. There is atmospheric pressure, the phi angle in magnetism from sun to earth, and blot echoes.
I don't get why people dislike these kinds of videos. As of right now there are 49 dislikes. Do they hate earthquakes? Do they dislike minute earth? Are they mentally challanged flat earthers? I guess we'll never know.
For an earthquake, the after effects of infrasteucture damage is worse than the event itself. 2 years window is of TREMENDOUS value. 2 days would provide some valueas well, but it doesn't gibe enough time to sizemically retrofit very much. My guess would be the 2 year window moght be more valuable than the 2 day window.
We don't even get Earthquakes in Germany. Well apart from the Laacher See (Lake Laach) in the Eifel-region, which is basically our smaller scaled yellowstone volcano. But the earthquakes rarely even reach a 3 on the Richter scale. (Below 2 meaning it's unnoticable)
So, you can warn people right before it hits, so they can get out of the buildings, at least. That's a big help. Just can't understand, why in the news they said, that the earthquake was sudden and unexpected all the time.
Trying to predict plate tectonics is like not knowing engines or gasoline exist and trying to figure out how a car works when it drives past us on the highway. We can predict, measure and test when the next car eventually drives by but we can never be certain until we stop a car and actually take a look under the hood. Same with tectonics: We can't even 100% prove that tectonic plates actually exist. It is a theory we strongly suspect is true and which is supported by experimental evidence but as far as we know their extend might reach much further than 7 large plates making up the earth or it might be something entirely different, who knows? This is partly thanks to their gigantic size, it makes measuring them and the forces they are going to produce absolutely impossible. And we're not even 100% certain what is beneath them, either. We probably never will be. All we have are fairly good models and calculations but without an EXACT picture or estimate it's hard to guess the physics behind it.
@iamihop It's like particle physics, astrology, evolution and quantum mechanics: Yes, it's a theory. That doesn't mean it's not regularly put to the test and works. It's very much likely our assumptions are correct, but plate tectonics are not proven at all. We keep learning new things about it and not even being able to predict how magma currents under the earth move around a massive 40000sqkm just proves that. Don't get too cocky with that statement, we know basically next to nothing for all we know. It's extremely complex and if we were to actually know as much as you'd claim it'd be easy to figure out earthquakes days in advance. After all we can't even reliably predict the weather and we have all the data and theories for that down.
@iamihop I can't quite agree with you on that. We've got massive amounts of data for weather for one. However it's very hard for scientists to precisely predict currents on a global scale due to the massive amount of data that goes into the whole system. It's kinda like trying to find out how a brain works: We know in great detail how a single neuron works, we know how a network of neurons connect but we have no clue how exactly our brain functions. Same for weather, we've got the details down for humidity levels, temperatures and so on, we can pretty accurately predict weather a few days in advance and how storms work, but we have basically no idea how global climate is precisely influenced, just that it is. That's also why climate scientists can agree climate change is going to affect whether, they just have no idea how. It's impossible for them to calculate how the current dynamics would change if water temperatures were to rise a mere degree or two simply because of the sheer complexity of the subject. But that's a whole other story to discuss where we could sit for hours, back to plate tectonics. Who knows, maybe I am exaggerating the amount of unknowns in that regard. But that's not to say that everything is set in stone, we're just figuring out the details, for instance: There's in fact lots of recent studies who question the driving forces of mantle dynamics which have been the working theory for half a decade. www.geologyin.com/2015/03/driving-forces-of-plate-motion.html Or how and where actual flows below the earth are and how big their extend is: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170512093940.htm And up until the early 2000s there was an entire science movement against the theory of tectonic plates all together. There's hundreds of anomalies and mysteries around the world surrounding tectonic plates and their formation, their effects, where the borders are, how and where they move, how the driving concepts work and so on. Techniques for measuring are only improving but it's still far from set in stone. You can never treat scientific theories like they are the be-all end-all. It's a bit like with evolution. We are only beginning to understand the pace of it, how it works in depth and we are learning, debunking mechanisms and improving our science around it on a daily basis.
@iamihop While analogous arguably there is one massive difference though getting high resolution from deep within the ground is predominantly an issue of lack of physical access. In theory we could probably monitor the atmosphere with many quadrillions of drone weather stations now to improve weather data of course then you have to return to the real world where these things called budgets exist and they don't exactly allow for that, possibly overkill but hey there is no such thing as too much data the problem is always the data you don't have more than the data you have.
When an earthquake hits turn your phone's clock back two days and call the president. Warn him there will be an earthquake 2 days from "now", then quickly hang up and quickly change your phone's clock back to real time. You do not want to risk creating a time paradox which will cause even more earthquakes.
I think there's a problem with "'UA-cam processing"' 3blue1brown and Destin from smartereveryday had issues recently too Well this is the power of AI my friends the end is near (Just kidding on the last bit)
So not only apple falling someone head can cause them to ponder about gravity and why things fall but also how to detect earthquake? Huh, I'm gonna try that my self and see what great Idea I can come up with.

1:45 15 miles? I don't know what that is. Why don't you use metric units? I thought this was a science channel...
AND GEHR96 CAN'T WALK 15 MILES, AND GEHR96 CAN'T WALK 15 MORE
Stop talking
15 miles is about 80,523 light nanoseconds.
Thats like 52,933,283.43 football pitch burgers per bald eagle
I wonder if there are any other videos hidden like this👀
Look up "SuspiciousObservers". Ben has been able to predict lots of earthquakes.
1:34 That stress violently released, though :)

Of course, that would only be attempted near a city after a lot of tests, and I doubt we can put explosives deep enough, however since fracking already does have an incidence on earthquakes, I guess it's within the realm of possibilities to trigger one voluntary.

So earthquakes are just earthfarts
y'know when your arms rub against each other real hard? that's what earthquakes are
@@mss5496 when do arms do that ever???
when you have a piece of clothing stuck to a piece of furniture. that's more common. also you do that thing with your hands to clean them, not arms.
Isn't the epicentre at ground level and the focus where the waves spread out from underground? If not then my Geography teacher was wrong.
CALLE IS GOING DOWN! I'M YELLING, "TIMBER!" XD
XD
"Plates are often more than 25 km thick".
Yes, but that's a bit understatement for an earthquake.
Up to ~40km depth is 'Shallow focus'
What did the ground say to the earthquake?
You shake me up.
*cricket sounds*
we just had an earth quake a few days ago but they were too small to brake anything but u can feel it
