A seismograph measures the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the Earth. These vibrations are known as seismic waves. The instrument records a zig-zag trace that represents the varying amplitude of ground oscillations beneath the instrument. This allows scientists to study the characteristics of the seismic waves, which can provide information about the size, location, and nature of the earthquake.
