They are using v band sat elite systems I believe. We need the seismograph picture from three station from at least three different direction to locate the epicenter of earthquake.We can take immediate relief measures if we know the location . But in the case of Tsunami if the magnitude of earthquake is more than 7 in Richter scale and if the epicenter is suspected at sea we can issue the Tsunami waning to alert the people to move away from seashore. This is what I did 2 hours before Tsunami struck our country. But my warning was not only ignored but also I was criticized by our meteorological department. I sensed the earthquake wave for the total time of 12 minute with the help of my quake alarm . Please visit the web

I believe they work together to measure the variations in seismic activity along particular earthquake faults, that would explain why they were formed also.
