Seismologists use two main devices to measure an earthquake: a seismograph and a seismoscope. The seismograph is an instrument that measures seismic waves caused by an earthquake. The seismograph has three main devices, the Richter Magnitude Scale, the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, and the Moment-Magnitude Scale. The seismoscope is an instrument that measures the occurrence or the time of an occurrence of an earthquake ("Inventors"). Unlike other measuring devices, the seismoscope is a simple device without any technological background. The seismoscope is the oldest and most accurate instrument for measuring direction.
What else can I help you with?
What are tools used for measuring earthquakes?
seismographs
What are the other methods of mesuring earthquakes rather than the Richter scale?
Other methods of measuring earthquakes include the moment magnitude scale (Mw), the modified Mercalli intensity scale (MMI), and the peak ground acceleration (PGA) method. These methods provide different perspectives on the earthquake's size, intensity, and impact on the ground.
How meteorologists forecast earthquakes?
Seismologists not meteorologists study earthquakes. Generally earthquakes can be predicted by measuring fore-quakes which often precede larger earthquakes.
In the US how many earthquakes were reported measuring 4.0-4.9?
The amount of earthquakes would be 4.
Who Was the scientist that first developed a scale for measuring earthquakes?
me
How can scientist tell where the earthquakes happened?
With a measuring tape

The device used for measuring earthquakes is called a seismometer.
What measures personality?
A seismologist is the scientist responsible for measuring earthquakes.

What is a seismograph used for measuring?
Seismic waves such as those produced by earthquakes.
