Detailed explanation-3: -A seismograph is a machine which measures an earthquake.

Detailed explanation-4: -A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record seismic waves. Seismic waves are propagating vibrations that carry energy from the source of an earthquake outward in all directions. They travel through the interior of the Earth and can be measured with sensitive detectors called seismographs.

Detailed explanation-5: -A seismograph is an instrument that measures and registers seismic waves that travel through the Earth as the outcome of an earthquake.
