Seismographs: Functionality, Calibration, and Importance in Earthquake Monitoring

Seismographs are specialized instruments designed to measure and record ground motion during earthquakes by detecting vibrations from seismic waves. These devices consist of a mass, a spring, and a recording mechanism, which together produce a seismogram capturing the relative motion between the stationary mass and the moving ground. Calibration of seismographs is essential for ensuring […]

Liquefaction: Causes, Effects, and Mitigation Strategies in Seismic Zones

Liquefaction is a geological phenomenon characterized by the loss of strength and stiffness in saturated soil due to applied stress, often during earthquakes. This article explores the causes and effects of liquefaction, highlighting its potential to cause significant ground failure, structural damage, and the historical context of events like the 1964 Alaska earthquake. It also […]
