Revealing of Earth Quake Magnitude Using Seismic Signals and Wavelet Transforms

Scientists, researchers and academicians have put their utmost effort in different ways for predicting Earthquake disaster, but were successful to a certain extent. Most of them had a superior idea of where an earthquake may most likely occur, but certainly predicting when an Earthquake may occur has become a challenging task. In fact this challenging task has become one of the basic requirements so as to get and set oneself from this natural disaster. In the present research, seismic signals are analyzed by using HAAR, DB, SYM, COIF, BIOR and RBIO wavelet transforms in order to evaluate the magnitude of the signal. Up on the experimentation, it is established that if the surface wave magnitude is >= 3.0, presence of earthquake as it would affect the environment to a greater extent.
