when waves from an earthquake reach the instrament, the inertia of the weight keeps it stationary, while earth and the support vibrate. Seismographs amplify and electronically record ground motion.

A seismograph is the graph that shows vibrations caused by an earthquake. It records the movement of the ground in a vertical direction as the seismic waves pass through the Earth's crust.


What is earthquake measuring machine?

An earthquake measuring machine, also known as a seismometer or seismograph, is a device that detects and records seismic waves produced by earthquakes. These machines provide information about the location, magnitude, and characteristics of an earthquake, helping to monitor and study seismic activity. They are essential tools for earthquake research, monitoring, and early warning systems.

What information is received from a seismograph?

A seismograph records the intensity and duration of seismic waves produced by earthquakes. This information helps seismologists determine the earthquake's location, magnitude, and depth.


What is used to mesure the size of an earthquake?

Scientists measure the magnitude (energy) of an earthquake using a seismograph (sort of sensitive pendulum that records the shaking of the earth).
