 Tiltmeters track inflation and deflation of Kilauea's summit caldera
When the tiltmeter record showed an increase in slope angle (microradians) the ground was tilting away from the caldera, which indicates the summit area was inflating with magma.
The remarkable tilt pattern at the caldera in the 1980's showed that the summit magma reservoir is often in delicate balance with the reservoir system beneath the east rift zone.
The pattern of tilt at Kilauea helps scientists determine when magma is on the move down one of the rift zones and when it might erupt.

 Volcano Monitoring Techniques
Tilt is a measure of the slope angle of the flank of the volcano.
As magma accumulates in the summit reservoir, it causes the slope (i.e., tilt) of the volcano's flanks to increase.
In many cases, tilt is used in conjunction with EDM and leveling surveys to constrain the location, and in some cases size, of an intrusion.

 Using electronic tiltmeters for monitoring volcano deformation
Measuring tiny changes in the slope angle or "tilt" of the ground at a volcano is one of the oldest methods for monitoring deformation caused by moving magma.
Electrodes placed in the fluid and into the bubble determine the bubble's position--as the bubble moves, voltage output from the electrode changes in a way that correlates to the amount of tilt that caused the bubble to move.
Tiltmeters measure the amount of tilt in microradians, which is the angle turned by raising one end of a beam one kilometer long the width of a dime (equivalent to 0.00006 degree!).

 Tilt
When you tilt the lens in the direction of the subject you plane, you also move the image plane relative to the film plane.
A tilted image plane brings the projected image (of the subject) into a parallel relationship with the film plane.
This means that you can use a wider aperture and a faster shutter speed, reducing or eliminating the risk of camera shake or blur due to subject movement, or simply have greater overall depth-of-field for a given aperture.
