Question

Seismometers Choose one: A. measure vertical (up-and-down) ground motion but cannot measure horizontal (back-and-forth) motion. B. are only sensitive enough to record ground movements down to about 1 mm. C. can "feel" (or record) large earthquakes that happen on the opposite side of the world. D. begin recording when the ground shakes and surface waves arrive.

Answer 1

Answer: C) Can "feel" (or record) large earthquakes that happen on the opposite side of the world

Explanation:

If a seismogram has recorded P-waves and surface waves, but not S-waves, the seismograph may have been on the other side of the planet from the earthquake. Therefore seismometers can feel large earthquakes from the other side of the world
