Seismic stations consist of a seismometer for sensing ground motion, a clock for determining time, and a recorder for collecting data of earthquakes. They detect and measure Earth's ground motion.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The seismic stations collect data that is related to the natural movement of the ground which is also called 'tremor'.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Seismic Stations are dedicated centers where the natural movements of ground are recorded on a seismograph (an equipment specially designed to trace the intensity of the earthquake).
  • These stations are equipped with the required tools and technology to determine the hypo-center or the seismic focus of an earthquake which is usually deep below the Earth's surface.
