Can Animals Predict Earthquakes?
By:David.B & Amanda.P & Brooke.C

All humans and animals detect S waves from an earthquake,but animals can detect smaller P waves that travel faster than the S waves. We have also discovered that animals also detect an earthquake weeks or seconds before it happens.
Our group has decided to go further with this discovery about animal predictions of earthquakes.

Humans cannot detect the smaller P waves admitted from earthquakes but most animals can detect the P waves. Since P waves travel much faster than the more destructive and slower S waves, animals can detect  and leave their their home and go to safety before the S waves come.

Rats, weasels, snakes and centipedes have left their homes and seeked shelter somewhere else several days before the destructive Earthquake. Catfish moving violently, chickens that stopped laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a hurry have been reported.


Scientists had no clue why and how they were detecting earthquakes several days before it happened but now they know how. Scientists detected disturbances in ionosphere in the earth’s atmosphere which contain high amounts of concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves which started two weeks before the earthquake.

Positive airborne ions, which are known to be generated in large numbers at the Earth’s surface when rocks deep below are subjected to increasing stresses during the build-up to an Earthquake. Positive ions in the air lead to unpleasant side effects in animals and humans, such as serotonin syndrome.

This is caused by an increase in serotonin levels in the bloodstream, and can lead to symptoms such as restlessness, agitation, hyperactivity and confusion. They expected the injection of positive airborne ions into the Earth’s atmosphere before seismic activity to have a heavy effect on mammals and birds, In particular those living on the ground and in burrows
