Movement in the earth's crust, as in earthquakes.
The printout from a seismograph is called a seismogram. It is a graphical representation of the seismic waves detected by the seismograph during an earthquake or other ground-shaking event.
Most of vibrations can be detected and recorded by sensitive instruments called seismograph, or seismometers. The record produced by a seismometer is called a seismogram.
P waves, also called primary waves, are the first waves to be registered on a seismograph. The S waves, or secondary waves, are the second and slower wave to register on the seismograph. When locating an earthquakes epicenter seismologists take the first reading of the P wave, and then take the reading from the S wave. At the station of where the earthquake was recorded, seismologists draw a large circle from where the earthquakes epicenter could be. TO exactly located the earthquakes epicenter there needs to be at least 3 dfferent staions where the earthquake hit to determine its epicenter using the S and P time interval.
From one seismogram, you can learn about the timing, magnitude, and location of an earthquake. By analyzing the wave patterns captured on the seismogram, seismologists can determine the earthquake's Richter magnitude, depth, and distance from the seismograph station that recorded it.
The tracing of an earthquake motion created by a seismograph is known as a seismogram. It represents the ground motion recorded by the seismograph during an earthquake, displaying the amplitude and duration of seismic waves. Seismologists use seismograms to determine the magnitude, location, and depth of an earthquake.
yes it does because its faster and its the primary wave
The seismograph station closest to the earthquake epicenter would have recorded P-waves first, followed by stations farther away. Since P-waves are the fastest seismic waves, they are the first to arrive at a seismograph station after an earthquake.

The first waves to arrive at a seismograph station are primary waves, or P waves.
It would depend on the size of the quake. It is certainly possible to use only one seismograph, it would just be impossible to use triangulation to find the epicenter of the tremble, as it requires at least three.
P-waves, which may also be known as primary (as they arrive travel faster than other types of seismic waves and so are recorded on a seismometer first) or pressure waves as they propagate by the compression of matter.
