True or false the Seismograph is attached to the ground.
What is true
200
What does seismic waves tell us?
What is how bad the earthquake is.
200
What did we use to activate the experiment? (make things change to the experiment?)

Seismographs make sure they follow the rules of physics to make seismic waves. What is that rule of physics?
What is whether it is moving or at rest every object resists any change to its motion.

What is a GPS Satellite?
What is stands for Global Positioning System is a satellite navigation system used to determine ground position and velocity (location, speed, and direction).
