1. a measuring instrument for detecting and measuring the intensity and direction and duration of movements of the ground (as an earthquake). Familiarity information: SEISMOGRAPH used as a noun is very rare.
The power of an earthquake is measured using a seismometer. A seismometer detects the vibrations caused by an earthquake. It plots these vibrations on a seismograph. The strength, or magnitude, of an earthquake is measured using the Richter scale. The Richter scale is numbered 0-10. Earthquakes measuring just one or two on the scale are very common and can happen everyday in places like San Francisco.
