Activity #2: Ocean Floor Traverse
photo of rumbleometer instrument being deployed
 The rumbleometer instrument as it appeared when it was being deployed from a ship. Note that the instrument frame has three legs that are each half a meter long.
Interesting ... the location of the earthquake's epicenter is very near the location of the rumbleometer at Axial Volcano. Your task now is to take the ship to this location, find the rumbleometer, figure out why it is stuck on the bottom, then recover it and examine the data it recorded. The rumbleometer has sensors to measure small changes in temperature and pressure. This information will help you interpret what happened.
