A Seismograph is an instrument designed to record earthquake shocks mechanically. Seismology is the study of earthquakes, one proficient in this science is called a seimologist-= like Dr. Richter of scale fame. among the various manufacturers of Seismographs is the Sperry Company, better known for Gyroscopes, gyro-compasses and the like. I believe both the Fordham and Oberlin seismological observation stations use Sperry instruments. Shake, Rattle, and Roll- Three axis models.
What else can I help you with?
What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.
What is used to mesure the size of an earthquake?
Scientists measure the magnitude (energy) of an earthquake using a seismograph (sort of sensitive pendulum that records the shaking of the earth).
What is the shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake?
Tremors
What is the name of the machine that rates the amount of shaking from an earthquake?
It is a seismomiter.
Why is earthquake risk greater on filled land with soft ground than so solid bedrock?
Soft sediment tends to make shaking in an earthquake worse. It is rather like shaking a bowl of jello.
What is used to record the shaking of a earthquake?
Seismograph.
What is used to record ground shaking and earthquake magnitude?
seismograph♥
This is used to record the shaking?
A seismograph is used to record shaking or vibrations in the Earth's crust. It consists of a sensitive instrument that detects ground motion caused by seismic waves during an earthquake. The information recorded by a seismograph helps scientists determine the location, intensity, and duration of an earthquake.
This is used to record shaking?

What record earthquake shaking?
It was 2004 when a earthquake struck in the middle of theIndian ocean it's measurement is 9.8 critical scale biggest ever in centeries.
What does it mean when your shaking?
There is an earthquake
Who would feel the ground shaking first in an earthquake?
i depends where the earthquake is.
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the?
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the intensity. It is measured on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which quantifies the level of shaking experienced by people and structures during an earthquake.
When an earthquake occurs is shaking greater?
Yes, shaking is a primary characteristic of earthquakes
What is used to mesure the size of an earthquake?
Scientists measure the magnitude (energy) of an earthquake using a seismograph (sort of sensitive pendulum that records the shaking of the earth).
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The most violent shaking during an earthquake typically occurs closest to the earthquake's epicenter, where the seismic waves are strongest. As you move further away from the epicenter, the shaking intensity decreases.
