Could the satellite expected to hit Earth tonight incorrectly read as seismic activity if it hits land

but no more than a jackhammer on the street right outside your window-That satellite is WAY to small to read on any seismometer unless a large chunck lands within 100 meters or so.-The pieces weigh much less and at impact will travel much slower than large planes when they crash.-They Could cause earthquakes-You are very smart. I had no idea this was occurring.......
Underground tests in the United States continued until 1992 (its last nuclear testing), the Soviet Union in 1990, the United Kingdom in 1991, and both China and France in 1996. After signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in 1996 (which has as of 2011 not yet entered into force), all of these states have pledged to discontinue all nuclear testing. Non-signatories India and Pakistan last tested nuclear weapons in 1998.
The most recent nuclear test was announced by North Korea on May 25, 2009. ..."

The impact would be detected by seismic sensors (not sure at what distance because I don't have data on the sensitivity of the detectors).
Computer and human interpretations of the data would indicate it was a surface impact - just as bombs and other surface impacts or explosions are identified as not being seismic in nature.
-
It could cause a small spike if it hit near a seismometer, but nothing near to even a minor earthquake. Likely it will have slowed significantly anyway due to air friction by time it hits the ground, if it does.

Not a chance. The pieces aren't going to be that big, so one of the bigger ones would have to hit within 1/4 of a mile to even register on a seismograph.
-
depends on how close to a seismometer it lands and how sensitive the equipment is. it could register something, but no more than a jackhammer on the street right outside your window
