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.

An airplane takes off from a location at 17°S
Lilit [14]

The plane would reach a latitude of 38°N.

When it comes to lines of latitude, the Equator is 0°. Locations south of the equator increase from 0° as you go further South and those north increase from 0° as you go North.

If you therefore go from 17°S northward, the degrees of latitude will keep decreasing till you get to 0° and then start increasing as you go North.

The new location in this case will therefore be North:

= 55 - 17

= 38 °N

In conclusion, the plane will keep going North until it passes the Equator at 0° then it will keep going North till it gets to 38°N.
