What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?

The movement of faults produces seismic waves. When an earthquake occurs, it generates three types of seismic waves: P-waves (Primary waves), S-waves (Secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and move only through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage and travel along the Earth's surface.

What is the earthquake recorded instrument called?

The instrument used to detect and record earthquakes is called a seismograph. It measures the motion of the ground caused by seismic waves and produces a graphical representation known as a seismogram.


What produces a record of seismic waves?

A seismograph is an instrument that produces a record of seismic waves by detecting and measuring the vibrations caused by earthquakes or other seismic events. It consists of a seismometer to detect ground motion and a recording device to produce a trace of the detected seismic waves.
