skjálftamælingar
Skjálftamælingar, or seismological measurements, refer to the practice of detecting, recording, and analyzing seismic waves generated by earthquakes and other Earth movements. These measurements are crucial for understanding the Earth's internal structure, the processes that cause earthquakes, and for assessing seismic hazard.
The primary instruments used in skjálftamælingar are seismometers and seismographs. A seismometer is a sensor that
Seismic waves are broadly classified into body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior,
Skjálftamælingar are conducted by seismic networks, which consist of numerous seismometers strategically placed across a region
