Seismometers is of Greek origin and comes from Seism - "the shakes" and Meteo - I measure" are instruments that measure and record motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, nuclear explosions, and other seismic sources. Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth, and locate and meas Strong Motion seismometer that measures acceleration. This model is a K2 made by Kinematics and part of Reuther the size of these different source. Be my friend and i'll buy you KFC ;)
What else can I help you with?
When was Seismometer created?
Seismometer was created in 1880.
What is another word for seismograph?
seismometer
What is a seismogam?
the recording produced by a seismometer
Can you put the word seismometer in a sentence?
A Geologist uses a seismometer to measure earth tremors and movements, and to help predict a possible earthquake.

How r earthquakes recorded?
An earthquake is recorded by a measurement called Richer scale and Mercille scale or the Seismometer. A seismometer is an instrument . . . While not sensitive enough to detect it.
Why are 3 seismometers required to locate exactly where an eartquake occurred?
The seismometer records the P and S-wave arrival times. P-waves travel faster through the earth than S-waves and so they arrive at the seismometer station before the S-waves and are recorded by the seismometer first. The difference in arrival time between the two types of seismic wave can be used to calculate the distance of the earthquake's epicentre from the seismometer. This can then be plotted on a map, by drawing a circle with a radius equal to the distance to the epicentre around the seismometer station. This is then repeated for the other two seismometer stations and the point where the three circles intersect is the location of the earthquakes epicentre.
What machine detects earthquakes?
A seismometer (the term seismograph may be used to describe a seismometer combined with an instrument for recording and displaying the amplitude and frequency of the seismic waves that the seismometer measures). Please see the related link.
Which instrument does not belong and why. Anemometer barometer thermometer seismometer?
The seismometer is the 'odd one out'. The other instruments measure factors to do with weather (wind speed, air pressure & temperature) - the seismometer measures movements in the Earth's crust.
Which instrument detects and records seismic activity?
Seismometer
How do you know a earthquake has ocurred?
Because they are recorded on a seismometer.
What is the insrument that measures and records earthquake records?
a seismometer
