Scientific paper

The Seismological Institute of the Cagigal Observatory in Caracas has maintained, between the years 1958 to 1964, a gravity earthtide station and has obtained, with 1384 recorded days, probably the longest series of records observed on the American continents. The vertical ground acceleration from long distance earthquakes, recorded by this tidal station, was related to the Pasadena magnitude of the events, which was most used at that time. Exponential relations were found which suggested that, by using a dense network of this type of earthtide station, magnitudes could be substituted by vertical ground accelerations, recorded on bedrock at standardized distances.
