What instrument used to record eartquake?

A Richter Scale is used to measure Earthquakes and the power of earthquakes. The number used is ten times greater in force than the one before it, so a 7.0 Earthquake is ten times more powerful than a 6.0, for example.


Statment between the magnitude of a earthquake and how often earthquakes of the magnitude occur?

One statement you could write is that "Earthquakes of higher magnitudes are much rarer than those of lower magnitudes". The magnitude of earthquakes is a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude of 8 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 7. This is why earthquakes of higher magnitudes are so much rarer than those of lower magnitudes.

What is the name given to people who predict earthquakes?

Active faults generate earthquakes. Geologists study them to better understand where and when future earthquakes will occur.Geologists study faults to better understand where large earthquakes originate. The Earth's plates are constantly moving, but most faults are motionless, locked by friction, until the day when the force on the fault builds up enough to overcome the resistance. When that happens, the rocks on either side of the fault lurch into motion, releasing pent-up energy in an earthquake. Most earthquakes are so small that special instruments are needed to detect them, but a few release huge amounts of energy, causing widespread destruction. During most earthquakes, fault motion stays below the Earth's surface, but in large earthquakes, fault motion may break through to the surface, offsetting rocks and sediments, as well as anything built on the fault, as much as ten feet or more.


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.
