Earthquakes occur when there is a rapid displacement of rocks along an internal fault of the
Earth. As the rocks on each side of the fault move past one other, they create seismic waves
through the Earth, which radiate outwards like ripples in a pond.
A seismogram is a recording of ground vibrations induced by earthquake seismic waves. A
seismograph, sometimes known as a seismometer, is the measurement apparatus that
produces the seismogram. Almost all seismometers work on the concept of inertia, which states
that a hanging mass tends to remain motionless as the earth moves. Seismogram are used to
work out the epicenter of an earthquake. The signals arrive first at the closest station and last at
the one furthest away. If we calculate the S minus P time to determine distance from the
seismometer at three stations, we can work out where the epicenter of the earthquake is. The
severity of an earthquake can be represented in a variety of ways, but the two most often used
scales by seismologists are intensity and magnitude.

Accounting is the practice of documenting and tracking financial transactions. Accounting
principles are used by individuals and corporations to measure their financial health and
performance. Accounting may also help individuals and businesses meet their tax requirements.
