Earthquake prediction and monitoring using unusual animal behavior

Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disasters that killed many people and destroy lots of properties. The ability to predict the earthquake can lead to great reduction in catastrophic effect caused by this unwanted phenomenon. Earthquake predictions involve the study of the phenomenon...
