Computer Simulations Might Predict Future Earthquakes

Geologists say they knew a larger earthquake was coming in South

Asia, but they did not know when.

The Himalayan Mountains were formed some 150 million years ago

after the landmass that is now India broke off from Antarctica, drifted

north and collided with the rest of Asia.

Scientists say the South Asian land mass is still moving towards North

Asia at the rate of about two centimeters a year, making the area prone to

earthquakes.

Harley Benz is a researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey earthquake

information center.

Harley Benz: It's a broad zone of deformation, and across this zone

that extends 1,000 kilometers, you have a whole series of faults and

folds.

Another earthquake-prone region is along the 1300 kilometer San

Andreas Fault in California.

It is here that John Rundle, a physics and engineering professor at the

University of California at Davis, is testing his earthquake computer

simulation.

John Rundle: You take these simulations, you turn them on, you run

them and you do as good a job as possible in simulating or representing

the past history of activity on the fault systems.

Dr. Rundle uses information from tools such as global positioning

satellites to create a virtual reality model of thousands of years of

earthquake activity along the San Andreas Fault. He says that in the

future, this computer model may be able to predict some earthquakes just

as hurricane paths are now forecast.

John Rundle: Our goal is to be able to make forecasts on that kind of

time scale and then to improve it to the point where we're actually able to

see the preparation process in the months and year or two leading up to a

large earthquake.

Dr. Rundle says that several decades from now, one third of the

world's population could live in seismically active regions. He hopes that

by then, the virtual reality software will help prevent the heavy loss of life

caused by tragedies such as the South Asia earthquake.
