Sismómetros
Sismómetros are scientific instruments used to detect and record ground motion, primarily earthquakes. These devices measure the velocity, acceleration, or displacement of the Earth's surface. The fundamental principle behind most seismometers involves inertia. A mass is suspended in a way that it tends to remain stationary while the Earth, and the instrument's casing, move around it. This relative motion is then detected and amplified.
Early seismometers were mechanical, relying on pendulums and levers to magnify the ground movement. Modern seismometers
The data collected by seismometers is crucial for understanding seismic activity, earthquake location, magnitude estimation, and
