Which earthquake scale would be most appropriate to describe historic earthquakes where seismograph records are not available?
The Modified Mercalli Scale
If an earthquake occured in seattle Washington how long would it take for the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismograph station in Miami Florida?
8 minutes
How did the seismograph of Chang Heng Works?
historians believe there was a pendulum inside and when an earthquake hit, the pendulum swung causing it to hit a lever which would cause a dragon facing the direction of the quake to drop its copper ball into the mouth of a toad below
Which seismograph station would have recorded P-waves last?
ok
Would you put a capital for earthquake?
There is no need to capitalize earthquake.
What do they use a Chinese seismograph for?
the chinese used the seismograph the find out the direction of an earthquake. in the first model, there were some small marbles inside a jar. when the earthquake hit, a marble would fall out of the jar, and in the direction of the quake. the chinese belived earthquakes were a sign of future evils.

The Modified Mercalli Scale
What are the instrument used to record seismic waves?
A seismometer (or the older device called a seismograph) records the seismic waves from earth tremors.+++There is a difference there: a seismometer would simply register instant vibration; a seismograph records the vibrations with time so shows the whole picture.
How would the seismograph for the two earthquake compare?
By using friction. Without it, they wouldn't have anything so the two will have also faults along the friction
If an earthquake occured in seattle Washington how long would it take for the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismograph station in Miami Florida?
8 minutes
Is seismograph a type of technology?
A seismograph is an instrument that measures the intensity of earthquakes. Seismograph technology would refer to the science involved with the design or improvement of the instrument.
Who would use a seismograph?
Since a seismograph is a device used to measure the magnitude earthquakes, someone who studies earthquakes would use it.
How did the seismograph change life in ancient china?
the first seismograph had about 8 dragons on the outside of the egg shaped pot. the dragons had balls in their mouth that were pure metal. if theground shook, the ball would drop from the mouth, and go into a metal frog shaped cup.
Where is a seismograph placed?
A seismograph is placed under the ground. Somewhere not to close to the surface, as when something on the surface moves, then it would be recorded on the seismograph. Something on the surface that moves can be a vehical driving along the road.
Can the s-p time method be used with one seismograph station to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
The first step in this method is to collect several seismograms of the same earthquake from different locations. Then, the seismograms are placed on a time-distance graph. The seismogram tracing of the first P wave is lined up with the P-wave time-distance curve, and the tracing of the first S wave is lined up with the S-wave curve.The distance of each station from the earthquake can be found by reading the horizontal axis. After finding out the distances, a seismologist can locate an earthquake's epicenter.-New Boyz
How you would Build and test a model of a seismograph?
Idkk
Why would an earthquake have several different intensity values?
well i think its based on a sacle from 1083 to 22222
