Japan's new quake detection system


Predicting when an earthquake will take place is still just about impossible.
But Japanese scientists say they have come up with the next best thing.
They have developed a warning system that can alert you before the shaking starts.
In Japan earthquakes are a constant danger. On an average day there are three strong enough for you to feel.
Japan has an unrivalled network of seismic sensors, more than 4,000 of them, some deep below the Earth's surface. Click photo for link.
