On Tuesday 11th August, Google launched an earthquake detecting system for all android users around the world. This alert system will turn all android phone into a seismometer which will detect incoming earthquakes.
According to Google, android phones will now be able to detect incoming quakes and then send signals to a data center where signals will be analyzed and then alerts will be sent to users in that location.
