What is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes?
There are two instruments, which are basically the same thing. There is the seismograph , and a more specific tool measures the waves on what is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes are given a number from one to ten, ten being the strongest. The strongest earthquake that their ever was, was measured a 9.3.
How do you know a earthquake has ocurred?
Because they are recorded on a seismometer.
What two things can a seismometer detect?
Ground motion, earthquakes and nuclear explosions for example.
What name is given to the instrument used to measure earthquakes?
A seismometer.
An instrument used to detect and record earthquakes?
A seismometer is used to detect and record earthquakes by measuring the motion of the ground. It consists of a mass suspended on a spring that moves with the vibrations caused by an earthquake, which is then recorded on a seismograph.
What do you call an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes?
Seismometer (or seismograph) and it measure seismic waves
What is the terms listed below are sediment transporting agents except?
Stratification
What does seismometer station mean?
A seismometer station is a facility equipped with seismometers, instruments that detect and record ground motion from seismic waves generated by earthquakes or other sources. These stations are strategically located worldwide to monitor and study seismic activity. The data collected from seismometer stations help scientists assess earthquake hazards and understand the Earth's internal structure.
How r earthquakes recorded?
An earthquake is recorded by a measurement called Richer scale and Mercille scale or the Seismometer. A seismometer is an instrument . . . While not sensitive enough to detect it.
How do you detect the magnitude of an earthquake?
You use a seismometer. Then, measure the magnitude according to the Richter scale.
Which instrument is commonly used to record intensity of earthquakes?
Seismometer
Which type of wave does a seisemeter detect first?
A seismometer detects primary waves (P-waves) first. These are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to arrive at a seismometer after an earthquake.
What caused the development of seismometer?
A desire to record the occurrence and measure of earthquakes.
What is the intensity of earthquake determined by?
seismographA seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes. Generally, it consists of a mass attached to a fixed base. During an earthquake, the base moves and the mass does not. The motion of the base with respect to the mass is commonly transformed into an electrical voltage. The electrical voltage is recorded on paper, magnetic tape, or another recording medium. This record is proportional to the motion of the seismometer mass relative to the earth, but it can be mathematically converted to a record of the absolute motion of the ground. Seismograph generally refers to the seismometer and its recording device as a single unit. ( See also Earthquake ABC and
What is a device use to record the shaking of the grounds?
A seismometer measures the shaking of the ground.
What produces a record of seismic waves?
A seismograph is an instrument that produces a record of seismic waves by detecting and measuring the vibrations caused by earthquakes or other seismic events. It consists of a seismometer to detect ground motion and a recording device to produce a trace of the detected seismic waves.
