- Seismographs - Keeping Track of Earthquakes - USGS.govSeismic waves lose much of their energy in traveling over great distances. But sensitive detectors (seismometers) can record theses waves emitted by even the smallest earthquakes. When these detectors are connected to a system that produces a permanent recording, they are called seismographs.
- Seismometers, seismographs, seismograms - what's the difference? How do ...A seismometer is the internal part of the seismograph, which may be a pendulum or a mass mounted on a spring; however, it is often used synonymously with "seismograph". Seismographs are instruments used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake.
- Real-time Seismogram Displays - USGS Earthquake Hazards ProgramThese seismogram displays depict ground motion recorded by seismograph stations in real-time, updated every few minutes. Each plot represents 24 hours of data from one station. Read more ».
- How a seismometer works - SEIS / Mars InSightA seismometer is a device that is sensitive to vibrations. It works on the principle of a pendulum: a heavy, inert mass with a certain resistance to movement (i.e. inertia) due to its weight is suspended from a frame by a spring that allows movement.
