Extractions: HOME BOTTOM OF PAGE APPLICATION NOTES PRINT ... CONTACT US HIGH RESOLUTION PRESSURE MEASUREMENT Digiquartz® Pressure Products are the highest resolution, lowest noise, and most accurate instruments available today. The transducers are based on the inherently digital, highly stable, vibrating quartz crystal technology developed by Paroscientific over the last three decades. They are designed and tested to deliver outstanding performance even under difficult field conditions. Although many applications require both high resolution and accuracy, short-term measurements generally benefit more from our high pressure sensitivity while longer term measurements need our accuracy, stability, and insensitivity to environmental errors. With a sensor of inadequate resolution, real signals can be obscured by noise, or sensor noise can be misinterpreted as real signals. Paroscientific transducer mechanisms, oscillator circuits, and digital interfaces are carefully designed for high resolution. Typical delivered resolution of our transducers is better than one part per million, and under stabilized laboratory conditions, resolution can approach 1 part per billion. Applications where it is important to measure small pressure changes include leak-rate testing, interference and draw-down reservoir testing of oil and gas wells, Tsunami detection, and measurements of wind-shear and atmospheric shock waves.

Extractions: from California Geology, August 1984, Vol. 37, No. 8. Morgan Hill Earthquake Caused Record Shaking Force By Anthony Shakal, Thomas E. Gay, Jr., and Roger Sherburne. California Division of Mines and Geology The magnitude 6.2 Morgan Hill earthquake that damaged the San Jose area on April 24 caused the strongest horizontal earthquake acceleration ever measured (Figure 1). The unprecedented measurement of a shaking force one and a third times the force of gravity (1.3g) was recorded by the California Department of Conservation's Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG) on a strong-motion recorder at Coyote Dam, 17 miles south of the epicenter near Mount Hamilton. The previous maximum recorded horizontal acceleration, 1.25g, was recorded near Pacoima Dam, Los Angeles County, in the M 6.2 San Fernando earthquake of February 9, 1971. If vertical, an acceleration of 1.0g would exactly counterbalance the force of gravity, and make objects weightless; accelerations higher than 1.0g would throw objects in the air. PHOTO Interior view of a strong-motion housing like the one at Coyote Dam. The accelerograph is bolted to the concrete pedestal attached to the base; the housing itself is made of light aluminum panels.

Extractions: Fact Sheet 049-02 Study area for the Parkfield Earthquake Experiment at Parkfield, California. The San Andreas Fault (red line) last ruptured here in 1966 (yellow zone). A similar rupture in 1857 was a foreshock to the last great earthquake in southern California, the 1857 Fort Tejon magnitude 7.9 event (pink zone). Brown squares represent sites of geophysical monitoring instruments, including seismom-eters, strainmeters, creepmeters, and distance measuring instruments. The Parkfield area is considered an ideal place to study the earthquake process because in historical times earthquakes of magnitude about 6 have occurred here at fairly regular intervals (diagram above). The diagonal line represents a recurrence interval of 22 years. This fairly regular repetition of similar-magnitude earthquakes prompted the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1985 to forecast the likelihood of another moderate earthquake in the Parkfield region within the next several years. Scientists also recognized that Parkfield was an ideal site to capture the physical processes leading up to and immediately following an earthquake. As a result, the USGS and the California Geological Survey (then the Division of Mines and Geology) placed instruments in the ground at Parkfield to seek methods for making short-term predictions of earthquakes based on precursory events in the preceding hours or days. This initial joint effort developed into the Parkfield Earthquake Experiment.

Extractions: Within the week, Karangetang seismicity was showing a significant increasing of deep volcanic earthquake, while other seismicity which associated with Karangetang eruption (avalanche, tremor and explosion earthquake) did not recorded. Some times glowing lava avalanche occurred from main crater rim on 1 and 2 Oct 2001. Plume emission from northern main crater was in white medium-thick color reached 600 m, while from crater II hit about 50-150 m height. Red color reflection was observed as height as 50 m. Complete seismicity during the week is listed as follow: 47 events of deep volcanic (VA), 3 events of shallow volcanic (VB), 44 events of tectonic and 1 event of multiphase earthquake.
Can Plate Motion Surveys By GPS Measurement Be Considered As An Alert System For
Can plate motion surveys by GPS measurement be considered as an alertsystem for earthquake occurrence? Abdelhakim Ayadi CRAAG, BP
http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/ewc98/abstract/ayadi.html

Extractions: Seismic phenomena are among the most important sources of damage and loss of life in Algeria (for example: Algiers in 1716, Io=X, 20,000 dead; Blida in 1825, Io=X, 7,000 dead; El Asnam in 1980, Io=IX, 2633 dead; Tipasa in 1989, Io=VIII, 22 dead; Mascara in 1994, Io=VIII, 171 dead). The seismic survey at CRAAG is in charge of a telemetered seismological network since 1990. A set of 32 stations is spread along the Atlas Tellian region, considered as the most active zone in northern Algeria. We propose to install a permanent GPS (Global Positioning System) network along the Tellian Atlas (northern Algeria), in order to monitor the displacement of the African plate. We think that the variations in velocity and deformation fields of the plate, deduced by the GPS survey, will enable us to locate the zones where a probable stress drop could occur. These observations must be made on a long-term basis in order to perform a better survey. We are in the first phase of the project which consists of choosing the sites where GPS receivers will be installed. The survey itself will begin by the end of 1998.

EARTHQUAKE
and elsewhere on the continent of Europe they are more generally eaten
http://39.1911encyclopedia.org/E/EA/EARTHQUAKE.htm

Extractions: and elsewhere on the continent of Europe they are more generally eaten. EARTH PILLAR, a pillar of soft rock, or earth, capped by some harder material that has protected it from denudation. The bad lands of western North America furnish numerous examples. Here the formations are often beds of sandstone or shale alternating with unindurated beds of clay. A semiarid climate where the precipitation is much concentrated seems to be most favourable to the development of this type of formation. The country round the Dead Sea, where loose friable sandy clay is capped by harder rock, produces bad-land topography. The cap of hard rock gives way at the joints, and the water making its way downwards washes away the softer material directly under the cracks, which become wider, leaving isolated columns of clay capped with hard sandstone or limestone. These become smaller and fewer as denudation proceeds, the pillars standing a great height at times, until finally they all disappear. EARTHQUAKE. Although the terrible effects which often accompany earthquakes have in all ages forced themselves upon. the attention of man, the exact investigation of seismic phenomena dates only from the middle of the 19th century. A new science has been thus established under the name of seismology (Gr. crurjsbs, an earthquake).
