Monitoring Earthquakes Chapter 6 Section 3

Seismograph An instrument that measures the vibrations from an earthquake A seismogram is the recording of the vibrations

Instruments that monitor faults Tiltmeter – two bulbs that are filled with a liquid and are connected by a hollow stem

Instruments that monitor faults Creep Meter – A wire stretched across a fault and attached to a post on one side and a weight and pulley on the other.

Instruments that monitor faults Laser Ranging Device – times how long a laser beam travels to and back from a reflector. A change in time indicates a change in distance.

Instruments that monitor faults GPS Satellites – satellites are used to measure the movements of markers on opposite sides of a fault

Predicting Earthquakes When friction between the opposite sides of a fault is high, the fault locks and stress builds up until an earthquake occurs Geologists know that wherever plate movement stores energy in the rock along faults, earthquakes are likely.

Predicting Earthquakes We cannot yet predict earthquakes because we can’t be sure when and where stress will be released along a fault Video
