give me an example of seismogram

Here is an example of a seismogram, which records ground motion during an earthquake:

```
NW-SE (Horizontal)
|
|
|
Vertical ---> |
|
|
```

This diagram represents a seismogram from a seismograph that has both vertical and horizontal components. The vertical axis measures ground motion in the vertical direction, while the horizontal axis measures ground motion in a specific direction (NW-SE in this case).

The seismogram displays a series of wavy lines that reflect the seismic waves generated by an earthquake. The amplitude (height) of the waves represents the strength or intensity of the ground motion, and the frequency (spacing between waves) indicates the seismic waves' energy.

Seismologists use seismograms to analyze earthquake characteristics, such as the earthquake's magnitude, depth, and source location.
