Keeping one's ear to the ground means you intend to stay attentive and informed of events. There is some sound basis for this, as sound travels better where matter is denser, thus faster though water than through air and faster still through the ground. Especially for heavy, low-frequency sounds, one can actually detect sounds coming through the ground before detecting them in the air. Elephants actually employ this principle to communicate using very low frequency sound.
