Journal 14

Kirschvink, J. L. (2000). Earthquake prediction by animals: Evolution and sensory perception. Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 90(2), 312-323. doi:10.1785/0119980114

This article is written by Dr. Kirschvik, who has a strong background in geology and biology. He is now on the falcuty of California Institute of Technology, Division of Geological and Panetary Science. In this article, he is trying to find out a reasonable explanation for the question: "why can animals sense earthquakes? ". According to his knowlegde combined with the data collected from other renowed professors and reliable sources, it is animals' evolutionary mechanism that enables them to link their preception to the earth's precursors before the earthquakes occupy. Thus, I think I can use his ideas to support for my argumentative essay thesis that animals are superior to us in predicting earthquake.
