Seismograph
Earthquake
The Fun Acres seismograph is buried 3 feet underground sitting on top of Tennessee's finest limestone bedrock. This sensor is a part of a vast seismic network across the globe.
Earthquakes 300+ miles away can be detected by our station. The data feeds into the global RaspberryShake network for real-time monitoring and research.
