How a seismograph is used?

A seismograph is located under the ground. When there is an earthquake, the ground shakes, which also shakes the pen on the seismograph, making it move along the paper, drawing lines. To know how strong the earthquake was, scientist can look on the paper. The bigger the lines, the stronger the earthquake was.


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.


How does a seismograph record a strong earthquake and a weak earthquake?
