3. •When an earthquake or

5. •The waves are then detected
and recorded by
seismograms, which
measure, amplify and record
the motion of the ground that
would give information about

7. •A seismic wave is a wave of
acoustic energy that travels
through the Earth. It can result
from an earthquake, volcanic
