Seismologists use two main devices to measure an earthquake: a seismograph and a seismoscope. The seismograph is an instrument that measures seismic waves caused by an earthquake. The seismograph has three main devices, the Richter Magnitude Scale, the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, and the Moment-Magnitude Scale.
Volcanologists also use a device called a spectrometer to measure how the gases being emitted by the volcano affect the light. Based on the light above a gas vent, they can tell if the volcano is emitting hydrogen sulfide or carbon and sulfur.he most basic tool used by any volcanologist is a simple rock hammer, used for breaking off samples of igneous rock for laboratory analysis. Other samples are collected from the volcano's core using a drill.
