Yes, the pen in a seismometer works by recording the motion of the ground during seismic events. When an earthquake occurs, the base of the seismometer moves while the pendulum or mass remains relatively stationary due to inertia. This relative motion causes the pen to trace a line on a rotating drum or paper, creating a seismogram that reflects the intensity and duration of the seismic waves.

When was Seismometer created?
Seismometer was created in 1880.
How seismic waves are measured?
googoe
What is another name for earthquake detector?
Seismograph
An instrument used to record earhtquake waves is called a?
Earthquakes are measured by a seismometer, also known as a seismograph.
What is the seismometer and a Richter scale?
A seismometer is a device that measures movements underground, detecting and recording vibrations caused by earthquakes. The Richter scale is a numerical scale used to quantify the energy released by an earthquake, with each point increase representing a tenfold increase in magnitude.
In a seismometer the pen is attached to an inertial mass suspended by a spring What is the rotating drum attached to?
the ground
When was Seismometer created?
Seismometer was created in 1880.
Why wouldn't a seismograph work if the pen vibrated with the machine?
because if the pen vibrated then the seismograph wouldn't work and it would defeat the purpose. the machine only works if the pen is still. if the pen is still the machine will guide it by the heartbeat lines the pen creates.
How does a Bic 4 multi colour pen work?
how does the four bic pen work to pull the pens down
What is the difference between a ball pen and a regular pen?
A ballpoint pen is just a pen with a cap. A regular pen is one that clicks. They both work the same though.
Does a pen need friction to work?
Yes, friction is needed for a pen to work properly. When you apply pressure to the pen on a surface, the friction between the pen tip and the paper allows the ink to flow out smoothly, enabling you to write.
How do you get a gel pen to work when the ink in dried?
Lick or add water to the end of the pen.
Why the Ink pen is not used in Space?
Gravity is what forces an ink pen to work. The ink flows downward due to gravity. In an area without gravity (like space) the pen wouldn't work.
What is a seismogam?
the recording produced by a seismometer
What is another word for seismograph?
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.
Why a seismograph wouldn't work if the pen vibrated along with the rest of the machine?
explain why a seismograph would not work if the pen vibrated along with the rest of the machine.
