Earthquake Instruments
Per the US geological survey, many instruments around the Western and the Eastern United States along with Hawaii, monitor earthquakes. These monitoring stations consist of many volunteers such as University research centers; which set up an effort to monitor earthquakes throughout the country.
The US geological survey (US Geological Survey) monitors radio faults and volcanoes with instruments that transmit real-time data to the USGS center via satellite, radios, and telephones.
The meters use to collect such data are:
The meters use to collect such data are:
The Creep Meter-
set up between two peers or monuments where it measures distances which is normally about 30 m apart, while monitoring if there is a proportional change in distance between the two piers or monuments the meter will then activate and warn of a possible earthquake.

Port Pressure Monitors-
simply records flow pressure changes in deep holes

Tiltmeter-
monitors changes near active faults in volcanoes that are associated with quakes volcanoes activities.

Seismograph-
a tool that helps scientists calculate location, time and magnitude of an earthquake. This tool is so powerful that it can detect the source of an earthquake from around the world. The tool utilizes a "Zig Zag” drawing of a monitored flow, simultaneously while the ground is shaking; which transmits the data to the US Geological Survey.
