Which instrument is used to measure earthquakes?

A. Barometer
B. Seismograph
C. Hygrometer
D. None of these
Correct Answer: B. Seismograph

The question asks about the instrument used to measure earthquakes, which falls under the foundational concept of seismology. The correct answer is Seismograph.

  • A Seismograph is an instrument that detects and records seismic waves generated by earthquakes, providing data on their magnitude and location.
  • Barometer (Option A) is used to measure atmospheric pressure, not seismic activity.
  • Hygrometer (Option C) is used to measure humidity in the atmosphere.
  • Therefore, options A and C are incorrect as they measure different environmental parameters.
