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.

What is a seisometer?
An instrument that measures the shaking of the ground during an earthquake.
Magnitude is an earthquake's what?
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
What instrument measures air pressure decreases during a storm?
Barometers measure air pressure.
Can an inground pool crack during an earthquake?
Yes, an in ground pool can crack during an earthquake if it is close enough to the earthquake.
Energy released during an earthquake creates?
Energy released during an earthquake creates seismic waves.

What's the definition of earthquake damage?
Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.
