How it work Android Earthquake Alert System:

According to Google, every Android smartphone has small accelerometers that act as mini seismometers. When the phone is plugged in and charged, it can detect the onset of earthquake tremors.

If multiple phones detect an earthquake-like tremor at the same time, our server can use this information to estimate the likelihood of an earthquake, as well as the characteristics of the event such as its epicenter and magnitude.

Then, Google’s server can send alerts to nearby phones. Internet signals travel at the speed of light, much faster than the transmission of an earthquake shaking through the ground, so alerts often reach phones several seconds before a severe tremor occurs.
