Earth Sound Waves

[Merlyn]

As we all know geoseismology records the measurments of earthquakes as they occur. I live on a tetonic plate and we have 4-6 earthquakes a day in our area. I get realtime seismology recordings.

We can actually feel them, OK thats normal. But we hear some of them too. They come from different directions, including straight up, as we have 3 dormant volcanos here on the Island.

That means that we hear the sound before the quake hits us. I am wondering what I could use (a ground Mic ?) as I have the software to record it and log it at the same time. I use the NASA Radio Jove Project software, Skypipe.

I am somewhat out of the elements with this and wanted to ask if anyone knew anything that could help out in this endeavor.

Thanks for any input.

I live on a tectonic plate too. As a matter of fact we all do.

Merlyn, where do you live, do you mind me asking? It sounds like a small plate, or the edge of one. I guess if you had seismagraphs on the rift and prominant fault lines you might get a half a seconds notice or so? depend on how far you are from the epicenter?
