I know earthquake is measured by Rictor scale but how do they know where to keep the scale in advance. Before, a quake coming up, how do they know that this place is likely to have quake in certain time and they keep one over there to measure? Is it random that they keep?
In: Physics
They have a bunch of measuring stations all over the world that are constantly measuring 24/7. They also aren’t just measuring noticeable earthquakes, or measuring where the quake happened. They measure every little seizmic wave that happens everywhere, and when a quake happens in one place, they’ll get data of it from all over the world
