‘Rock clocks’ made from balanced boulders improve the accuracy of earthquake forecasts
Delicately balanced boulders have been used to create a ‘rock clock’ that can improve the accuracy of earthquake severity predictions by up 50 per cent. Imperial College London researchers created a new severe earthquake forecasting model using information from formations of precariously balanced rocks (PBRs). PBRs, rock formations where a ‘slender boulder’ is delicately perched … Read more
