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.
Average strength earthquakes typically occur at transform boundaries, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. These earthquakes are caused by the stress buildup and sudden release of energy along the fault line. Landforms like faults and rift valleys are commonly found at these boundaries.
The strength of earthquakes is not directly related to how often they occur. Earthquake strength is measured on the moment magnitude scale, which is based on the amount of energy released. The frequency of earthquakes is related to the tectonic activity in a region and can vary depending on factors like fault lines and plate boundaries.
This is known as magnitude. It is measured on the moment magnitude scale.
A seisograph is a device used to measure and record seismic waves caused by earthquakes. It consists of a sensor that detects ground movement and a recording system that produces a visual or digital record of the seismic activity. Seisographs are valuable tools for monitoring and studying earthquakes.

The Richter scale and Magnitude
yes it is
The Richter scale is used to measure the strength of earthquakes.
A type of geophysicist known as a seismologist measures the strength of earthquakes.
Earthquake strength is measured using a magnitude scale. For small to moderate strength Earthquakes (< magnitude 7) the Richter scale is used. For Earthquakes between 7 and 8 the body and surface magnitude scales are used and for earthquakes larger than 8, the moment magnitude scale is used.
