Measuring Earthquakes. The vibrations produced by earthquakes are detected, recorded, and measured by instruments call seismographs. The zig-zag line made by a seismograph, called a seismogram, reflects the changing intensity of the vibrations by responding to the motion of the ground surface beneath the instrument.
Report Abuse. Seismometers (in Greek seismos = earthquake and metero = measure) are used by seismologists to measure and record the size and force of seismic waves. By studying seismic waves, geologists can map the interior of the Earth, and measure and locate earthquakes and other ground motions.est Answer: Seismographs and other kinds of seismometers, generally, although there is a pretty wide variety of those and how they function. The old fashioned kind have a weight suspended pendulum-style that remains stationary, and have a slowly rolling drum or roll of paper (usually) underneath the pendulum.
