- A measuring instrument for detecting and measuring the intensity and direction and duration of movements of the ground (as an earthquake)
- (seismography) the measurement of tremors and shocks and undulatory movements of earthquakes
- Seismometers are instruments that measure motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, nuclear explosions, and other seismic sources. ...
- (seismographs) Instruments used for measuring earthquake size and the position on the earth's surface over which they occur.
- A device that records vibrations from the earth or which records shock waves set off by explosions in shot holes and picked up by geophones.
- A scientific instrument that detects and records vibrations (seismic waves) produced by earthquakes.
- A device that is used to accurately record the motion of the ground during an earthquake.
- An instrument for automatically recording earthquake motion. A simple seismograph consists of a very heavy weight with a pen attached and some paper to trace the motion. When an earthquake occurs, the weight and pen will stay still, due to the large mass of the weight. ...
- An apparatus to measure and record ground movements as produced by natural or man-made causes.
