Damage to infrastructure, human casualties,
and the economy can all take a nosedive when an earthquake
strikes, making it one of the deadliest and most unpredictable
natural disasters. Factors such as height, ground motion,
rainfall, rock bed material, and area tectonics all have a role
in their occurrence. Geologists and seismologists still have a
significant obstacle when trying to predict when, where, and
how big of an earthquake will be. Using data preprocessing
techniques like transformation and cleaning in conjunction
with advanced feature extraction methods based on
precursory patterns, this study presents an Earthquake
Prediction System. The system expands upon previous
research that found precursory indicators like changes in
animal behaviour, increasing temperatures, radon gas
emissions, and variations in seismicity. Particular attention
was given to the LSSVM-FPA hybrid model, which integrates
the LS-SVM and the FPA, in the development of two
predictive models that make use of seismic indicators and
hybrid ML techniques. When compared to other models, the
LSSVM-FPA model outperforms them all with a prediction
accuracy of 97.43%. In light of these findings, it is reasonable
to conclude that the proposed Earthquake Prediction System
provides a solid basis for enhancing early detection and
reducing the devastating effects of future seismic events
Earthquakes are among the most destructive
natural disasters that can occur, impacting not only people
but also economy and structures. A great deal of attention
from seismologists has focused on the problem of
earthquake prediction. The Earth's outer shell is not entirely
static, though, therefore it is still regarded as an extremely
complex subject today.
The earlier approaches to
earthquake prediction relied on established information,
statistical regularities, signal analysis, and historical
earthquake occurrences however, these methods are
relatively less accurate. Building cohesive models that can
be used to create precise forecasting systems is particularly
difficult due to the variances in geology and the uncertainty
of the forces at play[1]. Data loss during earthquake
