What is another name for earthquake detector?
Seismograph
Earthquakes are measured with an instrument called a?
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.
An instrument used to record earhtquake waves is called a?
Earthquakes are measured by a seismometer, also known as a seismograph.
What is the seismometer and a Richter scale?
A seismometer is a device that measures movements underground, detecting and recording vibrations caused by earthquakes. The Richter scale is a numerical scale used to quantify the energy released by an earthquake, with each point increase representing a tenfold increase in magnitude.
What is another word for seismograph?
seismometer
What is a seismogam?
the recording produced by a seismometer
Can you put the word seismometer in a sentence?
A Geologist uses a seismometer to measure earth tremors and movements, and to help predict a possible earthquake.

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.
Why are 3 seismometers required to locate exactly where an eartquake occurred?
The seismometer records the P and S-wave arrival times. P-waves travel faster through the earth than S-waves and so they arrive at the seismometer station before the S-waves and are recorded by the seismometer first. The difference in arrival time between the two types of seismic wave can be used to calculate the distance of the earthquake's epicentre from the seismometer. This can then be plotted on a map, by drawing a circle with a radius equal to the distance to the epicentre around the seismometer station. This is then repeated for the other two seismometer stations and the point where the three circles intersect is the location of the earthquakes epicentre.
What machine detects earthquakes?
A seismometer (the term seismograph may be used to describe a seismometer combined with an instrument for recording and displaying the amplitude and frequency of the seismic waves that the seismometer measures). Please see the related link.
Which instrument detects and records seismic activity?
Seismometer
How do you know a earthquake has ocurred?
Because they are recorded on a seismometer.
What is the insrument that measures and records earthquake records?
a seismometer
What devices monitor volcanoes to predict when they will erupt?
Seismometer
How are seismometer stations used in determining an epicenter?
Triangulation.
