How do you make a vertical pen shoebox seismograph?
To make a vertical pen shoebox seismograph, place a pen in the center of the shoebox lid, with the tip pointing down. Attach a long piece of paper to the side of the shoebox and feed it under the pen tip. Secure the shoebox to a stable surface, and as the ground shakes during an earthquake, the pen will record the movement on the paper.
What happens on land during an earthquake?
During an earthquake, the ground shakes due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. This shaking can cause buildings, roads, and other structures to be damaged or collapse. Landslides and ground fissures can also occur, increasing the risk of property damage and injury.
What determines where and how much the ground shakes?
The intensity of ground shaking during an earthquake is influenced by factors such as the earthquake's magnitude, depth, and distance from the epicenter. The type of soil and rock formations in the affected area can also impact the extent of ground shaking. Additionally, local topography and buildings' proximity to fault lines can amplify shaking.
What does an earthquake make the ground do?
An earthquake causes vibrations to move through the ground (in simple terms this makes the ground shake). If the earthquake is large and releases a lot of energy then the amplitude of the shaking (a bit like the height of a water wave) gets larger and so does the ability of the earthquake to cause damage.
Which surface wave shakes the ground in a rolling elliptical shape?
The surface wave that shakes the ground in a rolling elliptical shape is called the Rayleigh wave. Rayleigh waves travel along the surface of solids and cause both vertical and horizontal ground movement, resulting in a rolling motion that resembles ocean waves. They are typically the most destructive type of seismic wave during an earthquake.
How a seismograph is used?
A seismograph is located under the ground. When there is an earthquake, the ground shakes, which also shakes the pen on the seismograph, making it move along the paper, drawing lines. To know how strong the earthquake was, scientist can look on the paper. The bigger the lines, the stronger the earthquake was.
How does a person use a seismograph?
In simple terms a seismograph works with a pen attached to a heavy weight hanging near the ground. As the ground shakes the line being drawn by the pen wiggles to reveal how strong the earthquake is.
How a part of the sesimographs remains at rest during an earthquake?
When the ground shakes
Explain how a seismograph records earthquake data?
A seismogram is placed on a drum attached to the base of the graph. The drum is slowly turned by a clock and a pen is attached to a heavy weight with it's point resting on the drum. As the bedrock of the seismograph shakes, the drum shakes as well. Therefore, measuring the extremity of the earthquake.
How earthquake is measured using sesimograph?
The shaking of the ground makes the pen move up or down, or side to side, depending on what kind of seismograph it is. The pen then draws a graph, and the more the pen shakes, the the stronger the earthquake.
Why does a person tries to move to an apen ground during an earthquake?
its so your not to close to the earthquake other wise you get more shakes and jiggles
What is a real earthquake?
it a thing that shakes the ground.
Why the pendulum of seismograph remains at rest?
Just like the first law of motion and object at rest remains at rest unless acted uponan unbanlaced foce
How can you tell if there is an earthquake?
usually the ground shakes and objects sway back and forth, but in very mild earthquakes you will notice nothing except with a seismograph. severe earthquakes may cause building to collapse, burying you.
What effect of of earthquake?
The ground shakes, and the earth is displaced along a section of the earthquake fault.
What determines where and how much the ground shakes in an earthquake?
by mercalli scale.
