Answer:

Dr. Cochran has invented a device to use on any laptop to detect an earthquake. This device can warn people about earthquakes immediately. These detectors are inexpensive and work on any computer. Scientists can create more of these sensors and distribute them to all residents in earthquake-prone areas. The sensors would let people know about earthquakes so they could go somewhere safe without wasting time.

Answer:

According to Cochran, these sensors become temporary seismic stations, enabling scientists to automatically monitor and retrieve data from six months to a year after an earthquake. Therefore, scientist can detect earthquake through information collected from the last earthquake.
