Scientists have discovered a way to form fiber optic cables into powerful seismometers.
—the border section between two massive tectonic plates under the surface of the Earth. It stretches for more than 800 miles through California, past San Francisco and nearly as far south as San Diego.
The section discovered that this earthquake was sequenced from four smaller ruptures—data that could not be detected by normal seismometers. The light provides a way for scientists to track imperfections in the glass. This way, scientists can record when seismic waves move through the ground.
