释义

Definition of seismograph in English:

seismograph

noun ˈsʌɪzmə(ʊ)ɡrɑːfˈsaɪzməˌɡræf
  • An instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration.

    地震仪,测震仪

    Example sentencesExamples
    • A series of digital seismographs around the volcano provide a continuous stream of data to the observatory in Goma.
    • Since there were no seismographs operating in Alaska at that time and no reports of surface faulting in the remote Alaska Range, the location of the 1912 shock is poorly known.
    • All told, 1,200 seismographs - including 800 borrowed from the United States - are being used in the $423,000 project.
    • The seismographs recorded the waves from that earthquake and from magnitude 2.1 and 2.8 earthquakes beneath the Cascade Mountains, even though the shaking was too small to be felt by residents.
    • This is similar to seismologists using seismographs on Earth to detect earthquakes.
    • Traditional seismographs record straight-line movements, for example shaking, whereas ring lasers measure rotational movements like rolling or twisting.
    • Later, earthquake seismographs were developed that recorded digitally, and today virtually all modern seismic recordings are digital and thus involve some sort of signal processing.
    • A series of digital seismographs installed around the volcano provide a continuous stream of data to the observatory.
    • Just as a scientist reads a seismograph to measure movements in the ground, the character of a government can be judged by the way it treats the most disadvantaged layers of society.
    • A seismograph at Ferris High School showed the trembling lasted for more than 30 seconds with two distinct spikes in intensity.
    • Noaa would record the earthquake on seismographs and issue bulletins about the progress of a tsunami.
    • What comes out of the laboratory and what is measured in the real world by surface seismographs leaves a gap.
    • With more earthquakes, more and better seismographs recording quakes, and more comprehensive compilations of seismic data, seismologists are sharpening their view of the African plume.
    • The observatory contained a seismograph to record mining tremors, an evaporation pan and a device to record lightening strikes which are particularly virulent on the Witwatersrand.
    • Richter, who worked in southern California, using data from seismographs - which measure earth movement - devised a method to calculate where an earthquake began, or its epicenter, and its magnitude.
    • Eventually the parties agreed on a strict monitoring plan relying on seismographs and strain gauges to assess the effect on the structure as crews installed the caissons.
    • Old-style seismographs recorded the jiggling of an earthquake on a rotating drum.
    • Tremors had been recorded in 1908 on a seismograph 4,000 kilometers west of St. Petersburg.
    • Each country affected by the disaster is to set up a tsunami warning centre to receive information from the pressure gauges, seismographs and wave sensors that will survey the ocean basin.
    • Aftershocks continued for several years, and small earthquakes still waggle seismographs in the region.

      Example sentencesExamples
      • We'll also be installing additional seismographic recorders that are going to allow us to capture some of the vital, time-sensitive information about the aftershock process that is now under way.

      • Using forward simulation, one can match seismic simulation results with observed seismographic data.
      • Many amateurs acquire skills as lapidiaries, cutting, polishing and investigating specimens of all kinds, as photographers of landscape and geological phenomena, and even as builders of simple seismographic stations.
