Earthquakes can be recorded on a seismograph. This device produces a piece of paper with a long flat line, along with scribbles drawn with a needle that represent times when there has been an earthquake. How is energy transmitted to the seismograph?(1 point) Responses Sound waves carry energy through the air and shake the needle of the seismograph. Sound waves carry energy through the air and shake the needle of the seismograph. Seismic waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below the seismograph. Seismic waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below the seismograph. Seismic waves carry energy through the air and shake the needle of the seismograph. Seismic waves carry energy through the air and shake the needle of the seismograph. Sound waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below the seismograph.

The correct response is: Seismic waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below the seismograph.

Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion, which creates vibrations that travel through the Earth. When these waves reach the seismograph, they shake the ground, which is detected by the device and recorded as scribbles on the paper.
