What is a record of an earthquake's seismic waves on paper?
"Shake, Rattle, and Roll". But seriously folks, it's called a "seismogram".
How does a seismograph record the movements of the ground?
They can detect ground movements as small as one hundred- millionth of a centimeter ^^^ Got that answer from my science book, so it's surely 100% correct. (:
What instrument is used to record a volcano?
a seismograph
How do you record earth movements?
Use a Seismograph.
What is the difference between seismic waves and seismograph?
A seismograph is an instrument that measures the seismic wave activity in an area. According to Wikipedia, Seismometersare instruments that measure and record motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, nuclear explosions, and other seismic sources. Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth, and locate and measure the size of these different sources. A seismic wave, according to wikipedia is, "Seismic waves are waves of force that travel through the Earth or other elastic body, for example as the result of an earthquake, explosion, or some other process that imparts forces to the body. Seismic waves are also continually excited on Earth by the incessant pounding of ocean waves (referred to as the microseism) and the wind."Seismograph is another Greek term from seismós and γράφω, gráphō, to draw. It is often used to mean seismometer, though it is more applicable to the older instruments in which the measuring and recording of ground motion were combined than to modern systems, in which these functions are separated. Both types provide a continuous record of ground motion; this distinguishes them from seismoscopes, which merely indicate that motion has occurred, perhaps with some simple measure of how large it was.
An instrument used to detect and record earthquakes?
seismic waves
What do you call an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes?
Seismometer (or seismograph) and it measure seismic waves
What device is used to record seismic waves?
Seismic waves are measured by seismographs, geophones, hydrophones and accelerometers.
How do you detect and record earthquake?
Use a seismograph.
How do scientist record seismic waves?
Scientists use an insrument with the name of a seismograph
What equipment is used for measuring earthquakes?
seismometer, also known as a seismograph. which record seismic waves
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.
Instrument that is used to obtain a record of seismic waves all over the world?
Seismograph ;) (listen in your science class!)
The trace that records an earthquake from seismic instruments is called a?
the ground movement caused by seismic waves
What is an instrument used to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake?
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 record of an earthquake's seismic waves on paper?
"Shake, Rattle, and Roll". But seriously folks, it's called a "seismogram".
What are the seismic waves that travel along earths surface and produce the most severe ground movements?
What does a seismograph use to record the drums vibrations
