What records the ground movements caused by seismic waves?
It's called a seismograph. I just finished learning about that in Science class.
What caused the ground to shake so strongly in Christchurch's earthquake?
seismic waves Seismic waves are energy that travel through the earth's layers, and are caused by the release of energy from the earthquake. This release of energy causes the crust to move, rip, and tear causing a lot of damage if close to the surface.
seismometers?
instrument that respond to ground motions such as caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and explosions
What instrument do seismologists use to detect seismic waves?
Seismologists use instruments called seismometers or seismographs to detect seismic waves. These devices measure the ground motion caused by seismic activity, such as earthquakes, by recording the vibrations on a sensitive sensor. The data collected is then analyzed to determine the magnitude, location, and depth of seismic events.
What is a device that records the ground movements of seismic waves?
seismograph
What waves are caused by back and forth movement vibration of an object?
Mechanical waves are caused by the back and forth movement or vibration of an object. These waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
A movement or vibration in earth?
An earthquake is the movement or vibration in the earth caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere. It results in the shaking of the ground and can lead to significant damage and destruction if severe enough.
What is the device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves?
Seismometer / seismograph
What is a seismograph and what causes it?
a seismograph is a device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves
The vibration produce by an earthquake are?
These are known as seismic waves.
What is another word for earthquake vibration?
Seismic waves is the usual description.
What are energy waves that are vibration traveling through earth?
Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.
What is a wave that is caused when energy causes a vibration thru a medium?
A wave caused by energy causing a vibration through a medium is called a mechanical wave. This wave requires a material medium to propagate, such as water or air. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
Do seismographs record the air movements caused by seismic waves?
Seismographs do not record air movements caused by seismic waves. Seismographs specifically detect and record ground movements, such as vibrations or oscillations in the Earth's crust, produced by seismic waves generated by earthquakes or other sources. The air movements caused by seismic waves do not directly influence the seismograph readings.
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.
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What is a vibration caused by an earthquake called?
seismic waves
