Abstract

The sensor is a major device in electronics for measuring physical data from the environment. Immense applications in the field of an early warning system in space sciences, atmospheric sciences & aeronautical engineering have been explored by various workers. It has been realised that landslide is a frequently occurring natural hazard in the hilly terrains of India; consequent upon every year there is a great loss of life and property. Sensor can be used for the early prediction system of landslide and it could help in preventing the millions of the losses due to natural hazard. In the direction of the landslide prediction, sensor can play a great role, where sensor connected with wireless protocol can make it very useful for remote areas landslide mapping, detection, analysis and prediction etc. A wireless sensor network consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, including temperature, sound, pressure, etc. is found be worthwhile.
