Seismometers are tools which measure motion in the ground including seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanoes, and other activities which might create seismic waves. Seismometers measure any movement of seismic activity in the earth and today this is done by electronic means whereby the machine measures any changes in seismic activity in the surrounding areas of the seismometer. The first seismometer is believed to have been invented by Zhang Heng of China's Han Dynasty in 132 AD.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

volcanoes and earthquakes is the top tectonic plate affects that can cause extinction

Explanation:

Volcanoes: because of a volcanoes lava intense heat it could kill species. Lava is the hottest natural substance there is on earth. Also the fumes and gases that come from volcanoes are deadly and can kill species that inhale it even if the volcano is miles away.

Earthquakes: the highest stage of a earthquake can be devastating cracking open grounds and destroying everything in its path which also means that it can destroy certain species homes (trees, underground, mountains) which can kill them. Also they can cause land slides which can wipe out a species instantly if strong enough. Even the after affect can causes species to go extinct because if they can't find shelter or food then they could eventually die of starvation or dehydration.

( hope this helps. Have a great day!)
