Seismic Monitoring Networks

Seismic monitoring networks are systems of specialized sensors called seismometers installed across regions to detect and record ground movements caused by earthquakes. These sensors measure vibrations in the Earth's crust, providing real-time data on seismic activity. The network’s data helps scientists determine the location, strength, and type of earthquakes, improving early warning systems and understanding of seismic hazards. By analyzing this information, authorities can better prepare and respond to earthquakes, ultimately enhancing public safety and resilience against seismic risks.
