They also provide data for earthquake forecasting research, nuclear test monitoring, and analyses of nonearthquake events such as explosions, intense storms, mine collapses, etc. Some seismic networks are aimed at detecting and recording seismic events down to the lowest possible magnitude, while others are strong-motion networks that aim...
