Quakes from Space. Studying Earthquakes in the Satellite Age
Description
In recent years, scientists have begun using satellite technology to study earthquakes from space. By monitoring the tiniest movements of the Earth's crust, they are zeroing in on the spots where strain is building up and the crust will most likely snap. As this science bulletin illustrates, these efforts could help California residents protect the areas at greatest risk before the next big quake strikes.
