Accelerometers are used in activity trackers and apps that count steps or other exercise. They also are used in global positioning system apps, also 7 (call) GPS.

MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic(地震的) activity. It has been designed 8 (know) the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time.

A smartphone sends seismic 9 (inform) to the app developers. If the developers receive several warnings from one area, it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place 10 will take place soon.
