How r earthquakes recorded?

An earthquake is recorded by a measurement called Richer scale and Mercille scale or the Seismometer. A seismometer is an instrument . . . While not sensitive enough to detect it.


An instrument that records earthquake is called?

seismograph


What are the recorded line from an earthquake called?

A seismogram. That is when an earthquake shakes a pendulum and it records it on a rotating drum.


Is the instrument for predicting earthquake already invented?

Yes, it is called the pusometer. It detects when and where an earthquake will strike, it is quite accurate.


What natural phenomena are measured by the'richer scale'?

the Richter scale is used to measure the power, strength of an earthquake


How is an earthquake's hazard level determined?

They measure it with a special instrument called seismograph.


What Instrument measures the density of an earthquake?

A seismometer is the instrument that measures the density of an earthquake, which is done by detecting and recording the vibrations produced by seismic waves. These measurements help scientists determine the magnitude and intensity of an earthquake.


What was the first instrument to ever record an earthquake?

The first instrument to ever record an earthquake was the seismograph, invented by John Milne in 1880. It consisted of a rotating drum that recorded ground motion caused by seismic waves, allowing for the measurement and analysis of earthquakes.


What is the instrument that detects measures and records the energy of earthquackes vibrations called?

The instrument that detects, measures, and records the energy of earthquake vibrations is called a seismometer or seismograph.


Has there ever been a 10.0 earthquake recorded in history?

Yes, there has never been a 10.0 earthquake recorded in history. The highest recorded earthquake magnitude is 9.5.


An instrument ised to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake is called a?

An instrument used to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake is called a seismometer or seismograph. These devices detect and record the vibrations caused by seismic waves, allowing scientists to analyze the intensity, duration, and characteristics of the earthquake. The data collected helps in understanding earthquake behavior and assessing potential risks.


What instrument measures the mass an of earthquake?

Earthquakes do not have mass as such. Rather they have magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is the amount of energy released by the earthquake so should ultimately have units in joules. Both earthquake magnitude and intensity can be estimated from the amplitude of seismic waves as recorded on a seismometer.
