A SPL meter is a sound pressure level meter where a microphone diaphragm is moved by the sound pressure variations and the voltage output of the microphone is shown at a voltmeter. The volts are calibrated to decibels.

You multiply or dividing the decibels by the decibels?

There is no point in doing either one of these. A decibel, being the log of a ratio, is added to or subtracted from another decibel.

What unit sound is measured in?

Decibel (dB) * The Bel is the primary unit. However, the scale is too large. So for human hearing, we use the deciBel, where each deciBel is 1/10 of a Bel. this is abbreviated dB.

Do Decibel meters measure the magnitude of earthquakes?

No, decibel meters do not measure the magnitude of earthquakes. Decibel meters are designed to measure sound intensity in decibels, which is a unit of sound pressure level. Earthquakes are typically measured using seismometers, which detect and record ground motion and provide data on the earthquake's magnitude and intensity. The magnitude of an earthquake is often reported using the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale, not decibels.
