Seismometers
- A seismometer is the detecting and recording parts of a larger apparatus known as seismograph. Seismometers are pendulum type devices mounted on the ground that measure the displacement of the ground with respect to a stationary reference point.
- Since a seismometer records the motion in only one orthogonal direction, three seismometers are needed to record all components of ground motion.

Creep meter

Gravimeter measures the variations in the local force of gravity. Such variations are the result of changes in underground rock density.

Laser can measure the round-trip travel time of a light beam between two points. When the relative positions of the two points changes as a direct result of an earthquake, the travel time also changes.
Accelerometer
- An accelerometer (accelerograph) is a seismometer which records large accelerations, thus they are also known as strong motion seismometer.
- An accelerometer located in a building does not run continually. It is triggered by a P-wave and runs for a fixed period of time.
