What else can I help you with?
Does the height Of the jagged lines on a seismograph indicate?
It indicates that it is greater for a more severe earthquake or for an earthquake close to the seismograph.
What is a seiemograph?
Do you mean seismograph? A seismograph, originated by the Chinese,I think, detects earthquakes.
What scale based on the height of the lines traced by a seismograph?
Richter Scale .
How a seismograph is used?
A seismograph is located under the ground. When there is an earthquake, the ground shakes, which also shakes the pen on the seismograph, making it move along the paper, drawing lines. To know how strong the earthquake was, scientist can look on the paper. The bigger the lines, the stronger the earthquake was.
What does the height of the jagged lines on a seismograph indicate?
The height of the jagged lines on a seismograph indicates the amplitude or strength of the seismic waves produced by an earthquake. Larger amplitudes typically correspond to stronger shaking and more powerful earthquakes.
What does does seismograp mean?
You mean a seismograph =)........A seismograph is a instrument that measures motions of the ground.They are usually used to detect earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What are the zigzag lines recorded on a seismograph called?
The zigzag lines recorded on a seismograph are called seismic waves. These waves represent the vibrations of the Earth caused by the release of energy during an earthquake. The different patterns and sizes of the waves help scientists analyze the earthquake's characteristics.
What does the word Seismograph mean in science?
A seismograph is a machine for measuring and recording parameters relating to the movements of the Earth's surface caused by earthquakes or explosions.
How do you understand what all the squiggly lines on a seismogram mean?
A seismogram records the ground movement caused by seismic waves from an earthquake. The squiggly lines represent the waves' amplitude and frequency. By analyzing these changes, seismologists can determine the earthquake's magnitude, location, and depth.
Why wouldn't a seismograph work if the pen vibrated with the machine?
because if the pen vibrated then the seismograph wouldn't work and it would defeat the purpose. the machine only works if the pen is still. if the pen is still the machine will guide it by the heartbeat lines the pen creates.
A sentence with seismograph in it?
Here are some sentences.Scientists use a seismograph to measure movement in the earth.The seismograph showed that an earthquake had occurred.
What does the prefix seis mean in seismograph?
Well.... seismology is the study of earthquakes seismologists are the scientists who study earthquakes seismograph is how they measure earthquakes.... So using that, the root seismos is Greek for earthquake!
