THE GPS TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION Throughout time people have developed a variety of ways to figure out their position on earth and to navigate from one place to another. Early mariners relied on angular measurements to celestial bodies like sun and stars to calculate their location. The 1920s witnessed the introduction of more advanced technique-radio navigation-based at first on radios that allowed navigators to locate the direction of shore-based transmitters when in range.

A Proposal to Review How Geophysical Precursors Can Help Predict Earthquakes Christopher Gray February 1995 Introduction Throughout the world‚ devastating earthquakes occur with little or no advance warning. Some of these earthquakes kill hundreds of people. If the times‚ magnitudes‚ and locations of these earthquakes could be accurately predicted‚ many lives could be saved. This document proposes a review of how monitoring geophysical precursors can help in the short-term prediction of earthquakes

During the eruption‚ approximately 350 people were killed by the 35 km ash column‚ the hot blast and‚ most importantly‚ from the collapsing roofs. But the casualties and death toll could have been greater. The Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) and the USGS were able to inform the locals of the disaster ahead and were able to carry out the most successful volcanic hazards mitigation in the history‚ thus able to save lives of thousands of people and an estimated billion dollars

Satellite imagery The first images from space were taken on the sub-orbital V-2 rocket flight launched by the U.S. on October 24‚ 1946. Satellite imagery consists of images of Earth or other planets collected by artificial satellites. History[edit] The satellite images were made from pixels. The first crude image taken by the satellite Explorer 6 shows a sunlit area of the Central Pacific Ocean and its cloud cover. The photo was taken when the satellite was about 17‚000 mi (27‚000

Focus = point at which an earthquake originates inside the earth. May be many km below surface • Epicentre = the point on the earth’s surface directly above the focus. Strongest shock normally felt here. Most damage usually occurs here. • Seismology = the study of earthquakes – from Greek – seio – to shake • Seismologists record earth tremors and earthquakes on seismographs • These record the passage of seismic waves through the ground • An analysis of the pattern reveals a lot
