Mumbai: Unusual events "unheard of in the history of
seismology" have been recorded in the Andaman and Nicobar islands,
with more than 120 such events being recorded in the last one month,
according to seismologists.
The seismology department of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and the
Earth Sciences Department of the Indian Institute of Technology here
have recorded over 120 such unusual events in the islands following
the December 26 earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale that
triggered tsunamis which wreaked havoc in several parts of the
country.
Of these events recorded at BARC's Gouribidnur station in Karnataka,
at least over 33 events were above 5 on the Richter scale, they said,
adding "this is unusual and alarming as large amount of energy is
being released so frequently."

Developed from over 10 years of seismic research - A major release of new
technology able to reliably detect earthquake precursors from up to a
distance of 1000 kilometers. A Command Center monitors telemetry data from
regional sensors and is able to accurately triangulate large earthquakes
hours in advance. Command centers will be able to alert citizens with
enough warning such that loss of life and property may be mitigated.
