The seismograph works as follows. A pen, along with a particular calculated amount of (small) weight is attached to a spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a heavy and stable(so that it can with stand the earthquakes) base support. When an earth quake occurs, the movement of the smaller weight is recorded on a roll of moving paper by the pen. Then the extent of the earthquake is measured by those graphs(seismographs).

What are the instrument used to record seismic waves?
A seismometer (or the older device called a seismograph) records the seismic waves from earth tremors.+++There is a difference there: a seismometer would simply register instant vibration; a seismograph records the vibrations with time so shows the whole picture.

What is an instrument used to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake?
earthquakes are measured by seismic waves so scientists use a seismograph. there are a bunch of seismographs at a station and each one records the same stuff according to the p, s, and surface waves.
