- Take a look at the theories behind why earthquakes occur, what makes them so hard to predict and the warning system technologies we rely on today.
--
In 132 CE, Zhang Heng presented his latest invention: a large vase he claimed could tell them whenever an earthquake occurred for hundreds of miles. Today, we no longer rely on pots as warning systems, but earthquakes still offer challenges to those trying to track them. Why are earthquakes so hard to anticipate, and how could we get better at predicting them? Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl investigates.

I like how we can look into stars millions of light years away then manage to identify their size and composition. Yet we can't even look inside our very own planet.
Science is hard mannn
Some knowledge is elusive, which means only the persistent remains to find it. ;)
Because it is easy to build a powerful telescope than to dig a hole inside earth.
Infact I'd say, celestial bodies are studied to understand the structure and composition of our earth.
No, I'd say that everytime we find something, we ended up opening a whole new page of unknown things.
Like cell, like atoms, etc we thought we already discovered to its very core until we don't.
I don't even know how to say what I want to say in english, haha.

Thanks a lot ..
Lmao
+ Syrians lol
Thanks a lot...
I can feel your pain! Someday you will meet them again!
As a researcher, I wanna put a clarification about the difference between earthquake 'warning' and 'prediction'. In seismology, we have a rigorous definition on 'earthquake prediction', which requires accurate location, magnitude and timing for a future earthquake, and it is thought somehow impossible to achieve now.
earthquake warning, which is based on the early detection of seismic wave (so earthquake has occurred), sends out messages to the public. It's not a prediction.
thanks
can you tell when the istanbul earthquake will happen
@@barisgurbuzmbgy419 no dude, come on
@@barisgurbuzmbgy419 No - no one can, that's the point!
The Animation and Sound Design are delightful
that one rock liked the friction a little too much 😂
It probably got a bit harder.
😏😏😏
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Timestamp?
Ok
Wow, what an earth-shattering lesson😃
Thankyou.
I recommend this channel to all my friends, so much interesting knowledge that I probably would have missed otherwise! I am very grateful Ted-ed! Thank you for educating us all!
Living in an earthquake prone country, in one of the cities where it's felt the strongest, I am amazed at all this information and I hope that an alarm system is soon developed that gives us more than 3 minutes warning. Great video, thanks for sharing!
The sound of the occurrence of earthquake in this video is too realistic. Couldn't watch it without have chills down my spine. Reminded me of the catastrophic event I experienced back in 2015 in Nepal.
Found this video after 7.8 earthquake in turkey 🇹🇷 pray for turkey 🙏the world needs scientist to predict coming earthquakes 💪
Unfortunately, in Turkey, they are more interested in religion than in science
Yes brother
The animation is so freaking cool
It keeps varying
@abhisheksuvarna: That's kind of you.
Thank you Ted-Ed you make the best videos and have very very great lessons I love your videos
Wow the animations are good with the great explainations I love it
Here after Turkey's and Syrian earthquake, RIP 🤲🏻
*I learned more about Earthquakes in this video than I have in school*

@@aayushnambiar1870 it’s a joke, have you ever heard a joke before 😑
I absoloutely love Ted-ed cause they specify things
I could see the precaution sign right on the country where I live in. Actually it did 10 minutes ago. It was like 3. Something. In Bohol the last time was when 2013, and it was 7.2. now there's been couples of earthquakes around the province. Stay safe everyone!!
I downloaded it bc we have very occasionally felt earthquakes in OKC, and if it helps, I'm all for it
About the vase... I am Chinese and I am proud of my culture and history. But the thing is many Chinese scholars are skeptical about the existence of this vase right now. The picture of the vase you see in the video is a recreation of the original model that people put together based on ancient articles without sufficient details. They tried several recreations and just failed to predict earthquake as the antient articles claimed. It could be that the emperor at that time didn't want to expose enough details in case the technology falls into enemy's hand, or it could just be a story created to make his kingdom sound more powerful.
Well, it's all history now and we cannot really know which one is true. But a lot of Chinese scholars are recognizing this fact and proposing to change the textbooks about this vase until solid evidence says otherwise.
Another awesome video. :)
Also i wonder if other planets have quakes. Like does Mars have quakes.
Good question
@Heinrich Conradie that i know. But what about Venus, The moons of jupiter of even those from other galaxies?
@Heinrich Conradie then it's best to study and investigate this by sending drones over there. And there are a few moons in jupiter for good example fit that description.
Does it called marsquake???
Only in planets whit a molten core and they must be solid(not gaseous)
4:04 Uh... that's North Korea you're building your hypothetical network through...
should have no problem detecting radioactive gases there
Definetly, no problem
Love the animation!
I love you Ted Ed thank you for inspiring me to learn new more knowledge
Keep it up
It's interesting that there's a fault around Ireland and UK. Yet, it's very rare to have a devastating Earthquake like the one that has occured recently in Turkey and Syria. R.I.P. to the thousands of lives lost in that tragedy.
Careful what you wish for
I love the teaching keep it up 😀
The background music is super splendid!!! 😍
You have me *_quaking_* in my boots
That pun sure as heck doesn't ROCK
This joke make me *shook.*
We all Gucci till we feel the thunda from down unda!
My stomach dropped and I felt molten metal in my heart
@Snapmare_:
Thankyou.
I like the way you r teaching 🤗👏
Thank you Ted-Ed. For the very first time I was able to understand how earthquake occurs.
Earthquakes are often common here now in the Philippines. Seriously, a 6.1(I think) magnitude just hit the province of Pampanga in the island of Luzon not so long ago.
Para maging updated sa mga darating na lindol sa Pilipinas,.try visit Facebook page 'Forecasting Earthquakes and the Events - through patterned observations'..dito lang sa 'pinas mayroon ng ganyang forecasting..walang gamit na instruments,.mga senyales lang ang dapat bantayan,.yung ulap (earthquake clouds) at pula ng langit ang dapat i consider sa obserbasyon..katulad ng mga photos na makikita doon.
Update! There had been 6.7 magnitude quake in Davao City last Oct. 16. We've been having a LOT of aftershocks since then.. The number keeps getting higher and higher...
Amazing visuals
is there an app we could get a link to for sharing seismic distrurbance?
I remember there was a hypothesis that some storms are triggered by seismic activity which maybe one way of indicating earthquakes nearby or even miles below the crust.
Awesome and informative video
The animation is so funny:D I really liked watching the visuals❤️✨
I always like the animations so much
I really love the animations :D
Greetings from the trembling lands of chile my friends, have a nice day!
yeah, from Nepal too.
I wonder what cities, countries, would adopt a new unproven warning system that would require all citizens to evacuate the danger zones?
I heard about a city somewhere that got a warning about a potential earthquake. It didnt happen (or it did but was small) and cost the city millions from relocating citizens and stopping tourists from visiting.
Or Would the testing be done first without alerting cities about the potential problem?
I wonder what % of accuracy would be required for cities to accept the system? Especially cities like San Fran, LA, and others with high daily GP.
Thank you
Very interesting !
Greetings! Just a quick question, the video mentions that earthquakes were caused by sliding the plates with each other. But what about when the plates move apart from each other or collides with each other? Do earthquakes form that way too? I know mountains form when plates collides against each other but will earthquake form too? Thank you!
I wanted to know the answer from a very long time thnx ted
Caramba, que vídeo massa!
We just finished this topic a week ago, thx for the review XD
Imagine pooping and then you're notified by your phone that an earthquake will happen in 5 secs. 😂
That would be enough to make me fill the toilet.
That already happened to me
@@hansluvienwhag Did you use an app or something to detect it?
IT HAPPENED TO ME, and it happened me again when i was taking a bath xd but everything ok
Early Earthquake warning
Rest in Peace for my Türkiye / Syria brothers and sisters.
Could you make a video on the string theory?
Dutchsinse, on TH-cam, does a very good job of predicting earthquakes. He is not a scientist, but an observer of actual events. Suspicious Observers is another good source.
Can u do a video on counter equatorial current
Wait... You have to explain how the vase worked (or whether it really worked at all)
The ball would fall out of the dragon's mouth if it was shook enough.
Hey ,speaking of radon..what are radon detectors or more specifically what does radon do?
Wow.. Ted-ed amazing video and animation.. Lots to learn from you...nice earthquake details
Thanks for your video..
P.S: Can i get hi from you..
@naveenraj2008eee: A genuine gratitude.
Awesome
Good options
I would like to ask if I can use some of your video for my project 🙂
Such an early Earthquake Warning System would be groundbreaking.
If it happen but frankly it will never come to that.. we are not GOD..
It's that supposed to be a pun?
@@tonycanswag7623 OK.....
Earthquake Early Warning Systems already exist. Mexico, California, Japan, Taiwan and Rumania, for example, already have implemented one
Your video left me *_shook_*
Nice and very informative video, I really liked it :)
The theories behind why earthquakes occur. Adooooooooooro.
Those different kinda rocks are very interesting. 😄
What's about seismo ionospheric anomaly prior to earthquake occurrence?
bruh imagine taking a poop minding your own damn business and you get a 5 second head-up about a catastrophic earthquake happening right underneath you
God give strength to my brothers and sister in Turkey and Syria!
If it is so hard to detect,then why animals detect atleast 20hrs before earthquake happens.
We are lacking a tech that detects the surface air ionisation that occurs 10's of hrs before seismic events happen
how did the vase work?
this is one of best vidioe ever
The circle of fifths invented by Pythagoras is characterized by the application of homophonic related harmonized chords while the melody is ascending but proceeds in the exact opposite direction. Similarly, if we want to know the prediction of earthquakes, we have to go against all the efforts made till date.
Is antibody resistance a good thing or bad thing?

Who is here because of the earthquake that happened in Turkey_Syria?
Me
I found it recommended after the third 6.3 earthquake and i live in Damascus and it was strong so how in turkey and Aleppo?
@@Unknown-sf6cs i live in Latakia in a high house so it was strong
I was only doing my homework when the bed started vibrating strongly

To know exactly when an earthquake will occur, analysis of some sectional parts of nature's character is required. An important part is the sudden occurrence of events that cannot be predicted at the time of the attack. Now if we can analyze the nano-durations of that ultra-short time table, it will be seen that there is enough time to know it, and in this idea we will find a special character of nature, that is the expressive measurement of the message in the pitch-based characteristics of the sound in terms of frictional response of that time. In favor of which are all the sources of preparation according to the principle of sound. A conventional pitch preserves its existence by reacting to previous pitch dimensions. Therefore, the beginning of the preparation is stored in the sound frequencies in the carrying capacity of how long after the tension will come or occur
Its funny how i learned so much from this video rather than me on school haha gotta love this channel
nice video
A+ THX
I follow the predictive analysis of dutchsince
that was a shaking lesson
Why do we have names for typhoons and not for earthquakes? It seems unfair 😒
earthquake felix?

The vase idea sounds pretty good tbh

I love the animation!
Whos watching? We had an earthquake, after 140 years in capital of Croatia - Zagreb on 22. March 2020 at 6,24 AM. First one was 5,4 at Richter scale and second one was 5,0 R.
there was a 4.6 earthquake an hour ago where i live.
i kinda want that vase it looks cool
My brother always say whenever someone said "why are earthquakes so hard to know it coming" he says "expect the unexpected" 😂
1:44
That's a bit disturbing
Are we not going to talk about the ancient magical pot that could detect earthquakes?? That thing sounds really interesting!
And it is super interesting! The design of the pot is 2000 years old, it looks really cool and the mechanism that triggers the detection of an earthquake is so simple
Now that my curiosity is satisfied, I can finish watching the video
At least in here the weather gets weird a couple of days before a big quake, dunno if it's related or is just a coincidence.
Well, we better hope we figure out a way to more effectively predict earthquakes, we’re gunna be seeing a lot more of them soon enough!
