Explanation:
An instrument sensitive to tiny movements in the ground. A seismometer is a device that is sensitive to vibrations. It works on the principle of a pendulum: a heavy, inert mass with a certain resistance to movement (i.e. inertia) due to its weight is suspended from a frame by a spring that allows movement.

Answer:
A seismograph is a device for measuring the movement of the earth, and consists of a ground- motion detection sensor, called a seismometer, coupled with a recording system. Seismographs operate on the principle of inertia. ... Modern research seismometers are electronic, and detect and record motions in all directions.
