Does a seismograph record the air movementscaused by seismic waves?
Seismographs cannot measure volcanoes. When you research about seismographs, it may show thing about volcanoes. This is because right before a volcano erupts, it can cause little earthquakes and seismographs measure earthquakes!
How would a seismologist use seismographs to study a small part of a fault zone?
Multiple seismographs
What can sesismographs do?
Seismographs record the arrival time and amplitude of seismic waves. They can be used to locate the earthquakes epicentre and estimate the earthquake's magnitude. Please see the related question.
What are seismographs and seismograms?
seismogram are the records or paper copies that are produced by seismographs used to calculate the location and magnitude of an earthquack
Can seismographs predict hurricane intensity?
No, seismographs cannot predict hurricane intensity. It can only detect and predict any ground movement
Seismographs?
this is where the seismic waves recorded; measures vertical earth motion
seismograms?
traces of amptified electronically record ground motion made by seismographis
What can you learn from only one seismographs?
The motion of the earthquakes around you.
Which instruments Used to record intensity of earthquakes?
seismographs
What is used to record shock waves?
seismographs
How do seismographs record ground motion?
As the drum rotates slowly, the pen draws a straight line on paper wrapped tightly around the drum.Made by -Amy[;Why so seruis?TM
How does a seismograph records a earthquake?
when waves from an earthquake reach the instrament, the inertia of the weight keeps it stationary, while earth and the support vibrate. Seismographs amplify and electronically record ground motion.
Do seismographs record the air movements caused by seismic waves?
it records the frequency of the earthquake !
How do you spell seismographs?
seismographs
what does job does a seismologist do?
They are scientists which monitor, record and forecast about earthquakes
How does seismographs record seismic waves?
Well you know when you write a sentence, the paper stays in one place while your hand moves the pen. But in a seismograph, it's the pen that remains stationary while the paper moves. Why is this? All seismographs make use of a basic principle of physics: Whether it is moving or at rest, every object resists any change to its motion. A seismograph's heavy weight resists motion during a quake. But the rest of the seismograph is anchored to the ground and vibrates when seismic waves arrive.
What device is used to record seismic waves?
Seismic waves are measured by seismographs, geophones, hydrophones and accelerometers.
