In such studies, tiltmeters will measure shifts in the position of vast subsurface areas, and, ideally, laser devices will be able to measure micro scopic expansion and contraction of bedrock, while strain seismographs monitor the kind of subsurface stress and crust slippage that occurs in fault zones...
