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)
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.
Sound waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below 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 from the quake move the ground; the seismograph's fixed frame moves with the ground while the suspended mass/needle resists motion, so relative motion is recorded.)
