Quiz: Detecting Tremors
See what you know about seismic devices and their history.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, about 500,000 detectable earthquakes happen worldwide every year, but humans can only feel around 100,000 of those, while only about 100 are strong enough to cause any damage.
