What instrument do seismologists use to measure/detect seismic waves?
this is a portfolio
Thanks for using an appropriate first name. We really appreciate it.
This is simply out of curiosity, as I am a nosey person, but what 'atrocious' name did logan previously use? Sorry for asking haha I'm just nosey.

We have updated your name to "logan" which is the name you used for some of your earlier posts.
Please stick with this name or any other first name. Do not use some of your other names which were absolutely atrocious. We will need to ban you if you continue using offensive names.
Thank you.
Seismologists use a variety of instruments to measure and detect seismic waves. One of the primary instruments they use is called a seismograph.
A seismograph is a device that consists of a base attached to the ground, a mass suspended from a spring or pendulum, and a pen or stylus attached to the mass. When seismic waves pass through the Earth's crust, they cause the ground to shake. This shaking is transmitted to the mass in the seismograph, causing it to move relative to the base. The movement of the mass is recorded by the pen or stylus, which traces a line on a paper or drum that is mounted on the base.
To measure seismic waves, seismologists first need to install seismographs in strategic locations. These locations are typically seismically active areas, such as near fault lines or volcanic regions. Seismologists may deploy portable seismographs for temporary monitoring, or they may install permanent seismographs that continuously record seismic activity.
Once the seismographs are in place, seismologists collect the data recorded by the instruments. The recorded data is then analyzed to identify and classify different types of seismic waves, such as primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. They also measure the amplitude, frequency, and other characteristics of the recorded waves to gain insights into the nature and magnitude of the seismic event.
In summary, seismologists use seismographs to measure and detect seismic waves. These instruments are specifically designed to capture the movement caused by seismic activity and convert it into a measurable signal. The recorded data is then analyzed to understand the properties of the seismic waves and provide valuable information about earthquakes and other geological events.
whaaa
i dont think im using atrocious names but ok
