Seismologists study earthquakes by looking at the damage that was caused and by using seismometers. A seismometer is an instrument that records the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by seismic ...

Well, they even have the power to shake the ground in a manner that seismographs can record them. RELATED: Boat and ...

[10DotMatrix] has a budding interest in seismology, so she decided to make her own seismometer out of some easy-to-find materials. Seismometers are prohibitively expensive for hobbyists ...

Most scales are based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded on seismometers. These scales account for the distance between the ... the amplitude of the ground motion recorded by a seismograph ...

They detect seismic waves and magnify ground movement by mechanical, electronic, electromagnetic, or mechanical-optical methods. Seismometer outputs are transmitted to seismographs, seismic ...

Anything that produces ground vibrations can be recorded. For example, cars on I-90 and I-95/Rt. 128 (especially during rush hour) cause slight vibrations in the ground that our seismometers record ...

A network of seismometers is operated and maintained by the Earthquake Center, which is part of a regional network to monitor seismicity of the New Madrid seismic zone and a global network to monitor ...

An ocean bottom seismometer being retrieved after spending 10 months on the floor of the Pacific Ocean to map the mantle 100 miles underneath the Juan de Fuca plate. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Scripps researchers develop and operate long-term global and regional observing systems that improve understanding of environmental change and hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, ...
