What kind of data do seismometers provide for seismologists?
1.time of earthquake, magnitude and velocity, and type of seismic waves
2.location, quantity and time of damage created by earthquake
3.track movements of magma in the Earth's mantle
4.when tsunamis caused by quakes will strike coastal areas
Answers
Explanation:
The seismometer provides data as a seismogram, which is a recording of the magnitude of ground motion over time while regularly measuring the offset between the position of the mass and the frame to which it is attached, in relation to an equilibrium position i.e. when the device is at rest in the absence of any ...
2. Earthquake magnitude, energy release, and shaking intensity are all related measurements of an earthquake that are often confused with one another. Their dependencies and relationships can be complicated, and even one of these concepts alone can be confusing.
The time, location, and magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data recorded by seismometer. Seismometers record the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the Earth. Each seismometer records the shaking of the ground directly beneath it. Sensitive instruments, which greatly magnify these ground motions, can detect strong earthquakes from sources anywhere in the world. Modern systems precisely amplify and record ground motion (typically at periods of between 0.1 and 100 seconds) as a function of time.
3. Magma originates in the lower part of the Earth's crust and in the upper portion of the mantle. ... Decompression melting involves the upward movement of Earth's mostly-solid mantle. This hot material rises to an area of lower pressure through the process of convection.
