Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the Earth; they are recorded on instruments called seismographs. Seismographs record a zig-zag trace that shows the varying amplitude of ground oscillations beneath the instrument. Sensitive seismographs, which greatly magnify these ground motions, can detect strong earthquakes from sources anywhere in the world. The time, locations, and magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data recorded by seismograph stations. The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs.
A seismograph is used to measure ground movement or vibrations on the Richter scale.
the Richter scale measures earthquakes...i learned that in science! we were learning about earthquakes. the moment magnitude scale also measures earthquakes but in a different way...that was a fun unit:D
The instruments are seismographs or seismometers.
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.
You can barely feel it so no but it is still recorded on a seismograph ;)

No!

Richter Scale .
an earthquake is measured with a seismograph and its strenght with a Richter scale
The magnitude, Richter scale, and seismograph.
well nothing. they are the same

I relly don't Know but the thing that I know thet seismograph and richer scale is the same meaning so please check it and write it THANKS
Its because of the amplitude shown on a seismograph according to the Richter scale.
The Richter scale uses Arabic numerals.
The Richter Scale to rate magnitude and seismograph to measure strength
