Wikipedia

  1. seismography

    A seismometer is an instrument that responds to ground noises and shaking such as caused by quakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions. They are usually combined with a timing device and a recording device to form a seismograph. The output of such a device—formerly recorded on paper (see picture) or film, now recorded and processed digitally—is a seismogram. Such data is used to locate and characterize earthquakes, and to study the Earth's internal structure.

    Seismography is the scientific method of recording, studying and interpreting data regarding seismic activities like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or explosions. The process often involves the use of a device known as a seismograph (or seismometer), which detects and measures the intensity, duration and direction of these movements in the earth's crust. The recorded data, known as seismograms, are used to determine the location and magnitude of earthquakes and to analyze the various wave components in order to understand the Earth's internal structure.
