seismograph

     

Seismometer is of Greek origin an comes from Seism - "the shakes" and Meteo - "I measure" are instruments that measure and record motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, nuclear explosions, and other seismic sources. Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth, and locate and measure the size of these different sources.
