A seismometer would measure earthquakes, but there is no such activity on the moon to measure.
The moon is Earth's biggest satellite that experiences moonquakes, averaging about 3000 per year. These moonquakes are caused by tidal forces from Earth's gravity and the cooling and contraction of the moon's interior.
Although quakes on the moon are much weaker (and rarer) than those on Earth, they can last for much longer. We live in far damper environment than is on the moon and the seismic vibrations of our earthquakes will eventually be calmed by the moisture in the atmosphere. While an earthquake typically lasts for just a few seconds (10-30 for most moderate earthquakes), moonquakes can last up to an hour.
Seismographs have been used on the moon. Specifically they have used for learning about the moon's and Earth's evolution, understanding Earth's seismology with comparative studies, and gaining knowledge about tidal moonquakes or other origins of these forces.

Yes, the Earth does experience moonquakes. These are caused by the gravitational influence of the Earth and the uneven distribution of mass within the Moon. Moonquakes can be triggered by meteorite impacts, thermal expansion, or the gravitational pull of the Earth.
Moonquakes are believed to have caused the moon's geological features based on evidence such as the presence of fault scarps, which are cliffs formed by tectonic activity, and the distribution of shallow moonquakes near these scarps. Additionally, the analysis of seismic data from moonquakes suggests that they are caused by the moon's cooling and shrinking interior.
Moonquakes are much less severe compared to earthquakes. Earthquakes can be very strong and moonquakes are mild.
Yes, the moon does experience moonquakes, which are seismic activities similar to earthquakes. These moonquakes can be caused by Earth's gravitational pull, meteoroid impacts, or the cooling and contracting of the Moon's interior. Moonquakes are generally weaker than earthquakes on Earth.
No, they are weaker.
Moonquakes (yes it's that simple!)
No, but earthquakes and MOONquakes are related

frequent moonquakes...
Moonquakes are just earthquakes that occur on the moon.Moonquakes do happen but they happen a lot less frequently and they have magnitudes that are a lot less smaller than earthquakes. They happen at great depth, about half way between the surface and the center of the moon. Moonquakes can last for up to one hour which is a much longer time than earthquakes.
Moonquakes occur relatively frequently compared to earthquakes on Earth, but they are generally weaker. They can happen several times a month due to various factors such as gravitational forces from Earth and meteoroid impacts. The most common type is shallow moonquakes that can range from magnitude 2 to 5 on the Richter scale.
