Seismic Networks

Seismic networks are systems of interconnected sensors that detect and record ground movements caused by earthquakes or other earth vibrations. These sensors, called seismometers, are strategically placed across regions to monitor seismic activity continuously. Data collected from multiple stations helps seismologists analyze the location, strength, and impact of earthquakes in real-time. This information is vital for early warning, research, and improving building safety standards. Essentially, seismic networks provide vital “earth movement” information, enhancing our understanding of earthquakes and helping protect communities from their effects.
