Do seismographs monitor earthquakes?
Scientists use seismographs to monitor earthquakes. Though, a seismograph merely registers an earthquake. By using at least three seismograph stations, and using triangulation, the epicentre of the earthquake is able to be plotted.
How many earthquakes have occored today?
none :)
How do people monitor volcanoes to check how active they are?
There are a few ways of monitoring volcanoes. The safest and one of the best ways is to monitor earthquakes in the area. When molten rock moves underground it creates earthquakes. Looking at the size, type, and location of earthquakes in and under the volcano can give an idea of what the magma is doing. Scientists can also look at the size, composition, and temperature of gas coming from the volcano. Yet another method is to use precise measurements to see if the slopes of the volcano are deforming as magma moves.
What scale is used today to measure earthquakes?
sizemograph

Is a seismograph used to map faults monitor fault changes and predict earthquakes?
No!

Yes. Earthquakes happen every day.
Was there a man who studies earthquakes?
People have studied earthquakes from ancient times - today people who study earthquakes are Geologists specializing as seismologists.
What is the us of sersmograph?
Electronically records movements in the earth's crust and is used to monitor and predict earthquakes.
Are earthquakes be predicted How?
They can't be predicted and that is the problem. Geologists monitor active faults for signs of movement.

none :)
What is the purpose of USGS Earthquake?
The USGS Earthquake program aims to help identify, monitor, report and research earthquakes. It focuses on US-based hazards, such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
