Seismograph Model

The Seismograph Model gives students a better understanding of how earthquakes are measured and measured in magnitude.

This device will fascinate your students who are trying to understand the Richter scale.

Imitate earthquakes and the seismograph will record exactly their magnitude.

The device comes with a bench clamp.

A seismograph is a device that measures the movement of the earth and consists of a sensor, which detects the movement of the ground and is called a seismometer, and a data recording system.
The simple seismometer is sensitive to vertical ground displacements, and achieves this with the help of a weight hanging from a spring.
The spring and the weight rest on a frame that moves along the surface of the earth. As the earth moves, the relative motion between the weight and the earth gives the measurement of the vertical displacement.

If a measuring system is installed, such as a roller and a stylus attached to this weight, the relative motion between the weight and the ground can be recorded and give a history of the motion (of the ground), then the system is called a seismograph.
