GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct response is: **Seismic waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below the seismograph.** Seismic waves are generated by the movement of tectonic plates during an earthquake, and they travel through the Earth, causing the ground to shake. This shaking is detected by the seismograph, which then records the data.
