Seismograph

Instrument for Earth's Tremor Identification

The question asks to identify the instrument specifically designed for recording earth's tremors (vibrations or shaking of the ground).

Understanding the Terminology

We need a term for a device that measures and records ground motion, particularly that caused by earthquakes or other seismic events.

Analyzing the Options

  • Monograph: This refers to a detailed written study on a single subject. It is not an instrument.
  • Geographer: This is a person who studies or specializes in geography. It is not an instrument.
  • Seismograph: This is an instrument used to detect and record seismic waves, which are essentially earth's tremors. This accurately matches the definition required.
  • Barometer: This instrument measures atmospheric pressure, not earth's tremors.

Conclusion

Based on the definitions, the correct term for an instrument that records earth's tremors is 'Seismograph'.
