How Do I Read a Seismogram? (354 words)
When you look at a seismogram, there will be wiggly lines all across it.
If there aren't any S waves marked on your seismogram, it probably means the earthquake happened on the other side of the planet.
The surface waves (Love and Rayleigh waves) are the other, often larger, waves marked on the seismogram.
Quake: Real-time Seismogram Displays (0 words)
The seismograms displayed are from a few of the seismograph stations routinely recorded by the Northern California Seismograph Network.
When an earthquake occurs the seismogram will show ground motions that typically last from several tens of seconds to many minutes, depending on the size of the earthquake and the sensitivity of the seismograph.
The height of the recorded waves on the seismogram (wave amplitude) is a greatly magnified representation of the actual ground motion.
