The seismograph works as follows. A pen, along with a particular calculated amount of (small) weight is attached to a spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a heavy and stable(so that it can with stand the earthquakes) base support. When an earth quake occurs, the movement of the smaller weight is recorded on a roll of moving paper by the pen. Then the extent of the earthquake is measured by those graphs(seismographs).
