Our class discussion yesterday and today had us thinking about how earthquakes are recorded. We used a basic model in class to see how direction, distance, and force affect the data that is received. Through our investigation we found how direction, amplitude, and force is recorded. We know that earthquake waves travel in more than one direction, so we need more than one type of seismograph to get accurate seismic data.
