Explain how . seismograph data is used.. The Seismograph. Seismic waves cause the seismographs drum to vibrate but the suspended weight with the pen attached moves very little. Therefore the pen remains still and records the vibrations on the drum.. They Shape Our Landscape. As plates move, we may feel these movements as earthquakes. If there were no plate motions, our planet would not look like home. There would be no mountains, no valleys, no plateaus . . By : . Deavian. foster . Class : 5H. What is an earthquake?. A earthquake is a shaking of the earths crust and is a geological phenomenon . Earthquakes can cause intense vibration of the ground, soil liquefaction, and distortion of the ground. Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere but are most common along the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Earthquakes are primarily caused of movement of the tectonic plates.
