It moves with the same frequency and amplitude as the seismic waves, while the large mass suspended within it is damped from these oscillations due to it's own inertia. The relative movement between this stationary mass and the frame can then be recorded.
A seismograph is the reading that comes from a seismometer. They are used to measure the seismic waves that are generated by volcanoes and earthquakes.
A seismograph consists of a mass suspended by springs that move relative to a fixed frame attached to the ground. When the ground shakes, the mass remains motionless due to inertia, and the frame moves with the ground motion, allowing the instrument to measure and record the relative motion between the ground and the mass. This relative motion is then converted into a seismic signal.
The underlying principle of seismograph construction is based on the concept that seismic waves generated by earthquakes cause the ground to shake, which is then detected and recorded by a seismometer. Seismometers typically consist of a mass suspended on a spring within a frame, and the inertia of the mass allows it to remain relatively stationary while the ground moves during an earthquake, capturing the seismic waves. The motion of the mass is then converted into an electrical signal that can be recorded and analyzed to determine the characteristics of the earthquake.
AThere are a number of different types of seismometers and they all work in slightly differing ways but generally are based around the same principle. That principle is inertia. Inertia basically means that stationary masses will remain stationary until a force is applied to them. Conceptually a seismometer can be thought of as a weight or mass, suspended by springs in a frame which is bolted to the floor. When an earthquake occurs the frame which is attached directly to the floor is caused to move by the seismic waves, however the mass / weight on the spring does not as the seismic waves do not directly affect it (their effect is dampened by the inertia of the mass and the springs). If you were to attach a pencil or pen to the weight and a piece of graph paper to the frame so that they were touching the movement of the frame relative to the stationary mass would be recorded. Modern seismometers are much more complex than this but in essence rely on this principle.
Earthquake comparisons help us understand the impact and severity of seismic events by providing a frame of reference for the size, energy release, and potential damage caused by different earthquakes. By comparing earthquakes based on their magnitude, depth, location, and other factors, we can better assess the potential risks and consequences of future seismic events.

A seismograph measures ground movement by detecting and recording seismic waves generated by earthquakes. It consists of a mass on a spring that remains stationary while the ground moves during an earthquake, resulting in the mass moving relative to the instrument's frame. This movement is then amplified and recorded as a seismic trace.

A seismogram is a recording of ground motion at a particular ground location, as collected by a seismometer. Multiple seismograms, taken from different locations, can be analyzed to determine the magnitude, depth and location of an earthquake.Seismograms used to be recorded on paper by seismograph machines, but virtually all seismograms are recorded digitally, today, since computers are essential to accurately process the simultaneous readings from hundreds of seismometers.
