Extractions: The depth to very deep earthquakes is usually established by measuring the difference in arrival time of the P and pP wave. This is something you can do yourself with a bit of practice. You may be able to discover the deepest earthquake known so far! The best estimate for the deepest known earthquake is 684 km deep, under the Fiji Islands in the Southwest Pacific, on June 17, 1977. How do you go about this? First learn to recognize the pP wave. It has very much the same shape as the P wave (it reflects from the Earth's surface, very much like a reflection in a mirror, before going on its journey to the seismic station). Hint: sometimes it is much easier to see the pP and P similarity when you transform the seismogram to displacement rather than velocity. This is because pP spends more time in the "syrupy" upper mantle above the earthquake, where it looses some of the high frequencies (little wiggles). We provide some selected pairs of P and pP waves from the Global Seismograph Network in the file deepP.dat

Measurement
The second type of measurement is the magnitude of the earthquake.Magnitude does not depend on population and effects to ground
http://scign.jpl.nasa.gov/learn/eq8.htm

Extractions: Measurement Earthquakes can be measured in several ways. The first way is to describe the earthquake's intensity. Intensity is the measure, in terms of degrees, of damage to the surface and the effects on humans. Intensity records only observations of effects on the crust, not actual ground motion or wave amplitudes which can be recorded by instruments. While intensity helps to determine how large of an area was effected, it is not an accurate measure of the earthquake for many reasons. Two such reasons are: only the effect on an area showing the greatest intensity is reported, which can imply a greater or lesser intensity than what actually occurred, and the way in which seismic waves travel varies as they pass through different types of rocks, so some areas near by may feel nothing because they are built on faulted rock, while other areas quite a distance from the foci will feel the effects because they are built on compact homogenous rocks. The second type of measurement is the magnitude of the earthquake. Magnitude does not depend on population and effects to ground structures, but rather on wave amplitude and distance. Magnitude is determined using mathematical formulae and information from seismograms. One such magnitude scale is the Richter scale. This magnitude scale is logarithmic, meaning each step in magnitude is exponentially greater than the last.

http://www.fcs-net.com/biddled/scalesof.htm

Extractions: To measure the intensity of an earthquake, scientists have devised two scales, the Richter scale, which is named after the American seismologist Charles Francis Richter, and the Mercalli scale, which was introduced at the turn of the twentieth century by the Italian seismologist Giuseppe Mercalli. The Richter scale measures the amount of energy released at the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake. This scale has values from one to nine, with one being the least damaging. Each number indicates that the earthquake was ten times more powerful than the number before it. That would make an earthquake with a value of nine, one billion times more powerful than a magnitude one earthquake and one hundred thousand times more powerful than an atomic bomb. In the course of one year it is estimated that eight hundred earthquakes of a magnitude five to six will occur, in comparison, 50,000 earthquakes of a magnitude of three to four, and approximately only one with a magnitude of eight or nine will occur. The Mercalli scale measures the intensity of the shaking of the ground. Measured on a scale of I to XII, these measurements differ depending on the distance from the focus of the earthquake. The levels of this scale range from imperceptible shaking to mass destruction. Instead of having a mathematical basis, this scale is based on observed effects.

Orbiting satellite images the area before and after the earthquake, and records raw radar signals which must be processed to form an interferogram. The deformation signature, visible as the finely spaced pattern of color fringes, depicts detailed changes in the Earth's crust from motion during the earthquake. Measurement of the spatial distribution of the deformation permits solution for fault motion at depth, and may be useful in predictive studies of seismic activity. In this course we learn how to derive similar motions from spaceborne radar satellite measurements.

The study is accomplished by analyzing the strongest regional seismic waves at distances in the range 20 - 1000 km, using frequencies across a wide band. Because of the demonstrable stability of root-mean-square (RMS) Lg amplitude and the relationship between RMS Lg and seismic energy, the study improves the accuracy of the traditional steps of correcting measured regional wave amplitudes for propagation effects, such as geometrical spreading and attenuation (1/ Q ) as a function of frequency, and on the scaling of regional earthquakes in northeastern United States, such as static stress drop and seismic energy.

Extractions: Electric Field Oriented Sensor Fusion (EFOS) for Earthquake Forecast and Multipurpose Data Service ELECTRA is a multipurpose sensor fusion project that mainly focuses recording and serving the data related to earthquake precursory events. There have been many research activities on prediction of approximate time and the epicenters of probable earthquakes. Some of these researches depend on evaluation of physical changes on earth surface. Widely worked parameters are change in soil resistivity, spectral analysis of transmitted electromagnetic signals inside the ground, electric potential change between probe points, change in radon emission rate, temperature change in thermal spring waters, water level change inside the wells, measurement of long term movement of terrestrial points by GPS, temporal and spatial changes in background seismicity, observation of behavior of the biological beings [1] and measurement of acoustic emission [2]. Survivors reported lightening spirits before the Kocaeli earthquake in 17th August 1999 and the spark over the fault line above the sea and land during the earthquake. Unusual behavior of some animals were recorded by the security cameras just before the earthquake. Some people determined that their watches had stopped without any technical reason a few days before the earthquake and those problems disappeared after the earthquake. These observations and the evidences published in several books and journals [1,3,4,5,6] led us towards one of the major measurable precursor of the earthquakes that might be the change in electric field close to the surface.
