A seismogram traces the earthquakes motion that is created by the seismograph and the seismograph records vibrations in the ground and determines the location and strength of an earthquake.

What ways are earthquakes measured?

Earthquakes are measured using seismometers that record the seismic waves produced by the shaking of the ground. The two main scales used to measure earthquakes are the Richter scale, which measures the amplitude of seismic waves, and the moment magnitude scale, which considers the total energy released by an earthquake. These scales provide a numerical value called the magnitude to quantify the earthquake's size.
