What are the functions of the seismograph?
A seismograph is the device that scientists use to measure earthquakes. The goal of a seismograph is to accurately record the motion of the ground during a quake
What are the effects of diastrophism?
The effects of diastrophism are so many on the surface of the earth and include formation of mountains, plateaus and may cause tremors and earthquakes.
What are the vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake called?
Seismic waves
Shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake?
Tremors
What are the vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake?
after shock :)
What are caused by vibrations?
Tremors
What vibrations are caused by earthquakes?
Tremors
What are the vibrations felt before an earthquake called?
They are called aftershocks, or tremors.
What are synonyms of tremors?
shakes, earthquakes, vibrations, shivers,
How can magma under the surface create seismic tremors?
When magma rises towards the Earth's surface, it creates pressure on the surrounding rocks. As the pressure builds up, the rocks fracture and break, causing seismic tremors or earthquakes. These tremors are a result of the release of energy from the movement of the fractured rocks, indicating the movement and activity of magma beneath the surface.
What casuses a avelanch?
Certain tremors or vibrations in the earth. *Causes, *Avalanche.
What is the name of earthquake vibrations inside the crust?
Those are usually called tremors.
Which instrument measures and records vibrations within the earth and on the earth's surface?
It is a "Seismograph". It "listens" to the vibrations, and draws out (with an inked needle) the tremors onto a piece of paper. A seismometer is what measures and records earthquakes. Many modern seismometers send their data directly electronically to computers, which record and automatically analyze that data instead of using the inked needle on paper.
Which instrument is used to record the earth's tremors?
It is a seismograph
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 are seismographs used for?
A seismograph is used to detect vibrations and motions in the Earth's crust. These tremors are usually due to friction between tectonic plates (earthquakes) or huge powerful volcanic activity. - hope that helps
