IoT based Earthquake Detection system

Quick detection and notification of earthquake could minimize injuries, fatalities or prevent a disaster. An accelerometer for earthquake detection requires both high sensitivity and a wide measurable range, although high frequency response is not required. Micro-accelerometers based on various principles have been developed. With a conventional accelerometer, there is a trade-off between the measurable range and the sensitivity, although a servo-mechanism  has been introduced to widen the measurable range without lowering the sensitivity.We have noticed that MEMS sensor detects the shaking whenever earthquake happens and the data‟s will be updated on thinkspeak. The sensor has no limit to its measuring range, it has a high accuracy of 20 nm.
