Scientists have a new tool which will allow them to study earthquakes of the past. this will aid them in helping to leanrand predict earthquakes. "Using the basic principles of friction, the researchers considered the geometry of the shapes they found in the Dead Sea sediment and combined it with a number of other parameters found in physical science to calculate how earthquakes from the past were distributed in scale, time and place. "the quote, taken from the article helps give some knowledge on how the tool works, which is more helpful to somebody like me with little understanding of how it works.
