Quiz: Detecting Tremors

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.

For centuries, scientists have developed new ways to detect and measure earthquakes, some to more success than others. Do you know what some of the earliest seismic devices were? Test your knowledge with this ASME quiz.
