What is an instrument used to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake?
earthquakes are measured by seismic waves so scientists use a seismograph. there are a bunch of seismographs at a station and each one records the same stuff according to the p, s, and surface waves.
Can the s-p time method be used with one seismograph station to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
The first step in this method is to collect several seismograms of the same earthquake from different locations. Then, the seismograms are placed on a time-distance graph. The seismogram tracing of the first P wave is lined up with the P-wave time-distance curve, and the tracing of the first S wave is lined up with the S-wave curve.The distance of each station from the earthquake can be found by reading the horizontal axis. After finding out the distances, a seismologist can locate an earthquake's epicenter.-New Boyz
What does a seismograph look like?
A seismograph looks like a machine that is used for printing or amplifying things. This will vary depending on the particular model that one has.
When an earthquake occurs data from one seismograph can tell you what?
The waves of earthquakes help us determine information about the interior of the earth. The more geologists know about the interior of the earth, the better they can predict earthquakes and other changes in the formation of the Earth's crust.
How can a seismograph measure ground shaking if all parts of it must be attached to the ground?
how the hell should i know?? im the one who asked. SOMEBODY ANSWER THIS!

Can the SP time method be used with one seismograph station to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
No. One seismograph station will only allow you to calculate the distance to the earthquake's focus. (The epicentre is on the surface above.) To find its exact location you need the recordings from at least 3 seismograph stations.For more information on the SP time method, please see the related question.
What is the instrument used by scientists to determine the magnitude of the swell of the volcano?
seismograph is one instrument that could measure earthquakes and volcanoes etc but seismograph is many times use at earthquake!
Can you locate an earthquake with one seismograph station?
No. A minimum of three seismometer stations are required to locate an earthquakes epicentre. Please see the related question for more information.

Is the train station city center in Lisbon or is there a station at the airport?
There are many train stations in Lisbon.The airport itself does not have one train station, but there is one close to it (Oriente Station). From the Airport to the station there is a direct metro\subway connection.
How much is television advertising?
No one really can determine how much, its mostly up to the station that you will advertise on
What are 3 volcano monitoring devices?
seismograph is one

How is a seismogram different from a seismograph?
one is a graph and the other isnt
How can one determine if a number is an integer?
One can determine if a number is a integer through a simple mathematical formula. The formula itself can be found on popular websites such as php and other math resources.
What does data from one seismograph tell you when an earthquake occurs?
How far away the epicenter is.
