Carpenter Ants Damage

      The researchers said that if the behavior and reaction when the ants go away when a significant earthquake, the observation network ant definitely have a system. This system allows the prediction of earthquakes with enough time in advance.

      Researchers say, red wood ants can detect changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) are increasing in the earth's crust. The gas concentration is known to change before the earthquake.

      Ants also believed to be able to record smooth motion, electromagnetic and ground slab movement. Even though the micro scale that occurs in the Earth's crust.
