Scientists measure seismic waves using seismometers, which are instruments that detect and record the vibrations of the Earth caused by seismic activity. Seismometers generate data that can be used to determine the magnitude, location, and depth of earthquakes, as well as study the structure of the Earth's interior. The data collected by seismometers help scientists better understand the behavior of seismic waves and improve earthquake prediction and hazard assessment.

Who thought of seismic waves?

well it's a scientist. it first came from the word seismic. there was no wave added until an earthquake happened to cross the scientist who made the word seismic.


Instrument that study seismic waves?

scientist use a specail tool called a seismograph wich drows the strength of a seismic wave


How earthquake are located?

I'm pretty sure that an earthquake gives off a seismic wave and that seismic wave is then written on a seismograph that tells how strong it was and what kind of wave it was. with that knowledge a scientist can estimate how far away the earthquake was when it started and where it was
