Total Network It will shortly have a total of 9 accelerometers that monitored the seismic potential of the fault
National Seismic Network of the Ministry of Public Works has installed a third accelerometer Mazarrón, instrument that measures seismic acceleration and is part of the new seismic detection network failure Alhama unfolded Lorca after the earthquakes of May 2011.
The network is intended to monitor the seismic potential of this fault.
The de Mazarrón is part of a total of nine accelerometers that make this network and to be progressively installed in various locations.
These devices are essential not only for the detection and measurement of earthquakes, but to prevent them, since the transmission of real time data via satellite provides automatic calculations which provide, among other data, the epicenter, its depth, magnitude and time of the event.
Moreover, these instruments are responsible for early warning of the National Seismic Network.
The nature of its location accelerographs conditions unless the seismographs and have the major advantage of being able to locate in urban environments.
Thus, the accelerometers to measure the force with which an earthquake affects a location, which is determined by the distance to the epicenter and the underlying terrain.
