Technology of Seismic Sensors
How does a seismometer works? What's the difference between a seismometer and a seismograph? Explore the technology of seismometers.
Horst Rademacher, geophysicist and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, teaches on the basis of a simplified model how a seismometer works.
