GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct response is: **Seismic waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below the seismograph.** This is because seismic waves, which are generated by earthquakes, travel through the Earth's crust and cause the ground to shake. The seismograph detects this shaking, allowing it to record the intensity and duration of the seismic activity.
