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
What would the seismograph look like several hours after an earthquake?
Look bigger
Which earthquake scale would be most appropriate to describe historic earthquakes where seismograph records are not available?
The Modified Mercalli Scale
Which of the following would NOT be included in a station model a.humidity b.wind c.pressure or d.temerature?
Humidity would not be included in a station model.
Can you prove the Earth spins?
Yes, I believe a fine tuned seismograph will do the trick. A seismograph should show some amount of vibration related to Earth's rotation. At nearly one thousand mile per hour in some places, (plus going 66,000 mph around the Sun) it is reasonable that some vibration would be detected.
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.
How many seismograph station are needed to determined the location of an epicenter?
Three stations would best pinpoint the epicentre by triangulation.

How are data recorded on a seismograph?
I dont know about newer ones but older ones had a pen hovering a piece of paper and the siesmic waves would make them move.
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 you would Build and test a model of a seismograph?
Idkk
Why a seismograph wouldn't work if the pen vibrated along with the rest of the machine?
explain why a seismograph would not work if the pen vibrated along with the rest of the machine.
How would a seismograph change if an aftershock happened?
it would change to make the record look smaller
If using only one seismograph what would it measure?
It would depend on the size of the quake. It is certainly possible to use only one seismograph, it would just be impossible to use triangulation to find the epicenter of the tremble, as it requires at least three.
What would the seismograph look like several hours after an earthquake?
Look bigger
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.
