what is a seismologist
What is a Seismologist? Seismology is the study of seismic waves, energy waves caused by rock suddenly breaking apart within the earth or the slipping of tectonic plates. We know these as events as earthquakes.
A seismogram is a visual record that is created by a seismograph. A seismograph is a piece of equipment that records earthquake movements. These two items go hand in hand and are essential for the study of earthquakes. Without a seismograph, there would be no seismogram. A seismograph detects movement in the Earth's crust, translating that movement through its inner workings to move a recording device, often a needle, that makes markings on what becomes the seismogram.
