A seismograph is an instrument used to measure seismic waves in the earth's crust. In other words a seismograph detects earthquakes. A tsunami occurs when there is an earthquake at sea. The earthquake causes colossal tidal waves to form and the waves crash onto shore. This is a tsunami.
The difference between the two seismograph readings could tell you where the epicenter is located.
The energy source of tsunami waves is much greater The energy source of Tsunami waves is much greater
No. The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake - the point underground where it occurred. A Tsunami is an ocean wave generally caused by a submarine landslide or earthquake. The landslide or earthquake may have a Richter number associated with it, but the landslide itself need not have been caused by an earthquake. For example a slumping at the terminus of an undersea sediment delta. The Tsunami is the movement of the water caused by the volume of the submarine slump. Hence the common observation of the sea level going down, followed some time later by the sea in-rushing again.
A tsunami detection buoy is one of the primary instruments used to detect tsunamis. These buoys are equipped with sensors that can detect changes in water pressure caused by a tsunami wave passing overhead. The data collected by these buoys is then transmitted to monitoring stations to provide early warnings.
i might be a 6th grader but i can still awnser you question we had talk about this not to long ago and what i can remember is that a seismograph is an interment that measures and records seismic waves and the epic center a point on earth's surface right above the focus of an earthquake i hope this helped! :3

They use a seismograph to predict tsunamis.

A Tsunami and a strait are very different things. A strait is a narrow string of water, while a Tsunami is a massive wave.
the tsunami followed as a result of the earthquake at 3.45 p.m., local time-jst
the difference between a tsunami and an earth quake is an earthquake is when the tectonic plates collide in some form a tsunami is an underwater earthquake that creates a huge tidal wave. that is very basic but i hope it helps!
The time it takes for seismic waves to reach the seismograph can be used to calculate the distance between the epicenter and seismograph. By knowing the average speed of seismic waves in the earth, the time difference between the arrival of P- and S-waves can be used to determine the distance.
A seismograph that records vibrations, and movements in the earth while a seismogram is a record written by a seismograph in response to groung motions by earthquakes, or explosions. I am studying this in school in science so I know this is the answer!:)
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.

A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves usually triggered by an underwater earthquake or landslide. A meteorite is a rock from outer space that falls to earth and impacts the surface. A large meteorite impact can trigger a tsunami.
