1. Seismogram

   A seismogram is a graph output by a seismograph. It is a record of the ground motion at a measuring station as a function of time. Seismograms typically record motions in three cartesian axes (x, y, and z), with the z axis perpendicular to the Earth's surface and the x- and y- axes parallel to the surface. The energy measured in a seismogram may result from an earthquake or from some other source, such as an explosion. Seismograms can record many things, and record many little waves, called microseisms. These tiny microseisms can be caused by heavy traffic near the seismograph, waves hitting a beach, the wind, and any number of other ordinary things that cause some shaking of the seismograph. Historically, seismograms were recorded on paper attached to rotating drums, a kind of chart recorder. Some used pens on ordinary paper, while others used light beams to expose photosensitive paper. Today, practically all seismograms are recorded digitally to make analysis by computer easier. Some drum seismometers are still found, especially when used for public display. Seismograms are essential for finding the location and magnitude of earthquakes.

1. seismogram

   A seismogram is a record produced by a seismograph, a tool used to detect and measure the intensity, duration and direction of seismic waves produced by earthquakes or other geological activities. It represents the physical motion or vibrations of the seismic waves, which are typically represented as wavy lines on a chart or digital screen. This information can be analyzed by seismologists to understand the characteristics of an earthquake, including its location and magnitude.
