Seismic monitoring stations

Seismic monitoring stations are specialized facilities equipped with sensitive instruments called seismometers that detect ground movements. They continuously record vibrations caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or even human activities like construction. Data from these stations help scientists understand when and where earthquakes occur, assess their intensity, and improve early warning systems. Located worldwide, these stations form networks that provide critical information to protect communities, study Earth's interior, and advance our knowledge of seismic phenomena, contributing to safer and more resilient societies.
