What is the printout from a seismograph called?
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.
What is the difference between a seismograph and a seismogram?
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.
What is the difference of the P waves and S waves used to locate an earthquake's epicenter?
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.
What can you learn from only one seismogram?
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.
What is the tracing of an earthquake motion created by a seismograph?
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.
Does a P wave arrive at the seismograph first?
yes it does because its faster and its the primary wave
Which seismograph station would have recorded P-waves last?
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.
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What is an instrument that records seismic wave?
The Seismograph.
How you can use the words seismic wave and seismograph in the same sentence?
The seismograph measured the intensity of the seismic waves
What is the root word of seismic wave and seismograph?
Seis
What is the root word seismic wave and seismograph?
Seis
Which seismic wave arrives last at a seismograph station?
The first waves to arrive at a seismograph station are primary waves, or P waves.
If using only one seismograph what would it measure?
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.
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all types of matter.?
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.
What order does the seismograph arrive at the seismograph station?
First
What words have the root seismo?
seismogram seismograph seismic wave seismology
