To make a vertical pen shoebox seismograph, place a pen in the center of the shoebox lid, with the tip pointing down. Attach a long piece of paper to the side of the shoebox and feed it under the pen tip. Secure the shoebox to a stable surface, and as the ground shakes during an earthquake, the pen will record the movement on the paper.

Which part of the seismograph moves as the ground shakes during an earthquake?
The part of the seismograph that moves during an earthquake is called the pen.
What consists of a rotating drum of paper and a pendulum with an attached pen?
A harmonograph consists of a rotating drum of paper and a pendulum with an attached pen. As the pendulum swings, it creates intricate, repetitive patterns on the paper. This device is often used to create visually appealing geometric designs based on the principles of harmonics and motion.
What scale rates the size of seismic waves?
Most scientists use a machine called a seismograph which has a pen on the end and moves when there is shaking from the seismic waves. It records the shaking on a rotating paper called a seismogram. The up and down lines you see sometimes are drawn by the seismograph.
How can I refill a ballpoint pen?
To refill a ballpoint pen, unscrew the pen barrel, remove the empty ink cartridge, and replace it with a new one. Make sure the new cartridge is compatible with your pen model. Then, screw the pen barrel back on and test the pen to ensure it writes smoothly.
What is a sesmograph?
A seismograph is a scientific instrument used to detect and measure the strength and direction of earthquakes. It consists of a moving pen that records ground vibrations on a rotating drum or electronic sensor. Seismographs are crucial in monitoring seismic activity and providing data for earthquake research and early warning systems.
Does the pen on a seismograph swing freely?
No, the pen on a seismograph does not swing freely. The pen is stationery only until an earthquake occurs. Then the pen moves along the paper according to the way the ground is moving or quaking.
Seismograph that does NOT move during an earthquake is?
pen
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.
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 part of the seismograph remain at rest during an earthquake?
pen
How does a seismograph show earthquake waves?
it writes it with a pen on a roll of paper

Which part of the seismograph moves as the ground shakes during an earthquake?
The part of the seismograph that moves during an earthquake is called the pen.
Can you make a simple seismograph from everyday materials?
Yes, you can make a simple seismograph using a cup filled with sand or rice, a pen or pencil with a weight attached to the end, and a sturdy base. When an earthquake occurs, the base will shake while the weight on the pen or pencil remains still, creating a record of the ground motion in the sand or rice.
How does a person use a seismograph?
In simple terms a seismograph works with a pen attached to a heavy weight hanging near the ground. As the ground shakes the line being drawn by the pen wiggles to reveal how strong the earthquake is.
How does a seismograph record seismic-waves?
Well you know when you write a sentence, the paper stays in one place while your hand moves the pen. But in a seismograph, it's the pen that remains stationary while the paper moves. Why is this? All seismographs make use of a basic principle of physics: Whether it is moving or at rest, every object resists any change to its motion. A seismograph's heavy weight resists motion during a quake. But the rest of the seismograph is anchored to the ground and vibrates when seismic waves arrive.
