National Seismological Network

The National Seismological Network is a system of specialized seismometers spread across a country to detect and record earthquakes. These instruments monitor ground movements, helping scientists identify earthquake locations, magnitudes, and depths. The network's data is essential for assessing seismic activity, issuing alerts, and informing safety measures. By coordinating these sensors nationally, authorities can respond more effectively to seismic events, improve understanding of regional earthquake patterns, and enhance preparedness efforts to protect communities.
