To provide an earthquake prediction crustal movement meter for capturing a crustal movement and predicting the occurrence of an earthquake.
Several sets of suspended tools including weights or bars slightly changed in weight or length are suspended. Each suspended tool, which is generally directed to various directions by the force of rotation of the earth, becomes in parallel before an earthquake because the crustal movement occurs. The magnitude or distance of the earthquake can be known from the number of the tools laid in parallel or the way of arrangement thereof. Before the occurrence of a great earthquake, a part of the suspended tools stationarily directs a fixed azimuth because of a gravitational attractive force. Further, since the suspended tools are arranged in parallel north and south before a great earthquake occurs near an observation point, the crustal movement can be known.
