Strong-motion seismometers (which are also known as Accelerographs) are used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. It should be noted that intensity is different from magnitude and is measured using a differing scale (Moddified Mercalli or Macroseismic scale for intensity vs Moment Magnitude scale for earthquake magnitudes.)
Seismometers / accelerometers measure the intensity of earthquakes.
Seismometers - instruments that measure motions of the ground.
The visual output, either on a monitor or on paper is called a seismograph
Seismometers are in part used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. The scale used to measure earthquake intensity is known as the Modified Mercalli scale. A variation of this is used in Europe and is known as the Macroseismic scale.
Earthquakes are measured with a seismometer.
Seismometers and accelerometers are used to measure the acceleration of the ground surface and the total amplitude of seismic waves during an earthquake.
These values are used by seismologists to find the intensity of the earthquake (along with observations of the damage done to structures).
Earthquakes are measured using machines called SEISMOMETERS which record the shaking as waves on a graph .
The magnitude of most earthquakes is measured on the Richter scale, invented by Charles F. Richter in 1934. The Richter magnitude is calculated from the amplitude of the largest seismic wave recorded for the earthquake, no matter what type of wave was the strongest.
There are two instruments, which are basically the same thing. There is the seismograph , and a more specific tool measures the waves on what is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes are given a number from one to ten, ten being the strongest. The strongest earthquake that their ever was, was measured a 9.3.
The Richter scale is used. Anything between an intensity 1 to a 9 (the worst)
With seismographs.
The intensity of an earthquake measures the effect of an earthquake

A seismograph is an instrument that measures and records earthquake waves.
An instrument that measures the shaking of the ground during an earthquake.
The modified mercalli intensity scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake and is in part derived from the damage done to building and other structures.
A seismograph records the intensity measured by the Ritcher Scale.
The seismic scale that measures the intensity of earthquake damage is called the Mercalli intensity scale. This scale measures the effect an earthquake has on people and surroundings.

Damage done
Earthquakes do not have mass as such. Rather they have magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is the amount of energy released by the earthquake so should ultimately have units in joules. Both earthquake magnitude and intensity can be estimated from the amplitude of seismic waves as recorded on a seismometer.

A seismograph is an instrument used to record vibrations in or on a planet.
Luxmeter measures luminous intensity. The SI unit of luminous intensity is candela (cd).
