How are earthquakes measured?
Earthquakes are measured using an instrument called a seismometer. A Seismometer is the internal part of a seismograph. Seismographs are instruments used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake. They are installed in the ground throughout the world and operate as seismographic network.
The trace of a seismometer is called a seismograph.

What are seismic waves?
The movement of the ground in an earthquake occurs in a shaking back-and-forth motion called a wave. These waves in the Earth caused by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
