The GPS can be used to measure the horizontal and vertical location of various locations on land. After an earthquake, GPS measurement are repeated, showing how far, if any, the land has moved as a result.

What is used to measure moonquakes?
A seismometer would measure earthquakes, but there is no such activity on the moon to measure.
What is needed to measure earthquakes?
the rigter scale
What scale is used today to measure earthquakes?
sizemograph
Land speed record uses gps and laser technology to measure speed?
lasers to find speed and gps to find location/distance
How do scientists measure tectonic plate movement?
I was confused about this too, I'm not quite sure but I think they measure the movement with GPS, they move about a centimeter per year. But the some people say that the motion is different and that you use a Seismometer, the same thing used to measure earthquakes.
What do scientist use the global positioning system for?
global positional system (GPS) is used for finding tracks like tracking earthquakes or navigation too.
How do scientists predict earthquakes with a tiltmeter?
Tiltmeters use laser technology and GPS equipment to measure the slope of the ground level very accurately. If there is an abnormal, sudden tilt in the ground, there is a chance that an earthquake is on its way.
What is used to measure the movement of plates?
GPS
How do you measure the distance of a lake?

Why is it useful to have two separate systems to measure Earthquakes?
Two separate systems used to measure earthquakes are important for accuracy. More than one system to measure gives scientists an accurate measurement of an earthquakes strength.
What instrument record earthquakes?
A seismometer is used to measure the strength of earthquakes.
What does the seismograth measure?
The strength of earthquakes
What are seismongraphs?
Seisomographs measure earthquakes.
What does the rictor scale measure?
Earthquakes.
What is used to measure moonquakes?
A seismometer would measure earthquakes, but there is no such activity on the moon to measure.
What can be used to measure an earthquake?
seismograph is generally used to measure earthquakes.
