What else can I help you with?
Which instrument measures and records vibrations within the earth and on the earth surface?
This is known as a seismometer or seismograph.
Which instrument does not belong and why. Anemometer barometer thermometer seismometer?
The seismometer is the 'odd one out'. The other instruments measure factors to do with weather (wind speed, air pressure & temperature) - the seismometer measures movements in the Earth's crust.
What is the instrument called that detects seismic waves?
The instrument that detects seismic waves is called a seismometer or seismograph. It measures the vibrations caused by seismic waves in the Earth's crust and can help to monitor and study earthquakes.
Which instrument measures and records vibrations within the earth and on the earth's surface?
It is a "Seismograph". It "listens" to the vibrations, and draws out (with an inked needle) the tremors onto a piece of paper. A seismometer is what measures and records earthquakes. Many modern seismometers send their data directly electronically to computers, which record and automatically analyze that data instead of using the inked needle on paper.
How are a seismometer and a tiltmeter alike and how do they differ?
A seismometer and a tiltmeter are both instruments used to measure ground movement. The main difference is that a seismometer measures seismic waves generated by earthquakes, while a tiltmeter measures changes in tilt or inclination of the ground, which can be caused by various factors, including volcanic activity, landslides, or tectonic movements. Both instruments play a crucial role in monitoring and studying earth movements and can provide valuable data for understanding geological events.
What can scientists find out about the earth with a seismometer?
The perturbations in the bowels of the planet earth.
What is a seismographer?
Earthquakes generate seismic waves which can be detected with a sensitive instrument called a seismograph.It is an instrument that measures vibration in the Earth.
Can you put the word seismometer in a sentence?
A Geologist uses a seismometer to measure earth tremors and movements, and to help predict a possible earthquake.
What does a seizmograph measure?
It measures vibrations of the ground . It records the vibration of Earth due to earthquakes, nuclear explosions or other sources that causes seismic action.
What is to the study of the earth as an X-ray machine is to the study of the human body?
The interior of the Earth can be studied by means of a seismometer.
earthquake?
the vibration of earth produced by the rapid release of energy
How did earthquakes get the name?
they named this natural disaster earthquakes because earth is the land and quake means vibration on earth together it means a vibration on the earth surface
