Seismograph
A seismograph, also sometimes called a seismometer, is an instrument that makes a record of seismic waves caused by an earthquake, explosion, or other Earth-shaking phenomenon. It is equipped with electromagnetic sensors that translate ground motions into electrical changes. A record produced by the seismograph on screen or paper is called seismographs.
The first seismograph was invented by a Chinese mathematician Chang Heng. He invented and constructed the first seismograph in A.D. 132. The shape was cylindrical with eight dragon heads arranged around its upper circumference, each with a ball in its mouth. Around the lower circumference were eight bronze frogs, each directly under a dragon head. When the earth shook from an earthquake a ball would drop from one of the dragon's mouths and fall into a bronze frog beneath it.
A modern seismograph can do not only detecting earthquakes but also measure several aspects of the event such as the time when the earthquake occurred, the epicenter which the earthquake occurred, the depth below the earth’s surface and the amount energy released by the earthquake.
Although originally designed to locate natural earthquakes, seismographs have many other uses, such as petroleum exploration, investigation of the Earth’s crust and lower layers, monitoring of volcanic activity and detecting remote nuclear underground tests.

Magnets
People in ancient times identified a special kind of rock that could pull the same kind rocks or pieces of iron towards itself. Such rocks were called lodestone. In modern times, people use magnets. Magnets have such force which is called magnetism. By the end of the 19th century, all the elements were known to have some magnetic property.
In ancient times, people made magnets from a lodestone. Then they rubbed iron on it. The rubbing lined up the electrons of the iron so that all the electrons would pull in the same direction. Today, people can use electricity to make magnets. Electricity, or more specifically electrons, can create magnetism force.
Magnets are called dipoles because all magnets are discovered to have two poles, a north pole and a south pole. If a long bar magnet is divided by cuts in half, each half turns to be a complete magnet. Each of the half has a north pole and a south pole. If two magnets are taken nearer to each other, one of the essential laws of magnetism can be experienced. For exampe, like (similar) poles (north and north, or south and south) repel each other, and the opposite case is unlike poles (north and south) attract each other.
Materials that can be attracted to magnets but by their original nature are not permanent magnets such as iron bars are called soft magnets. They are different from non-magnetic substances such as wood, cooper, or water which magnetism force is very weak. Soft magnets can only be magnetic and act like magnets when in the presence of a permanent magnet.

When there is a permanent magnet near a bar of soft magnetic material like iron, poles are induced at the left and right ends of the soft bar. If the north-seeking pole of a magnet is near one end of an iron bar, that particular end of the iron bar becomes a south pole, and the other one is a north pole. When the permanent magnet is turned around so that a south pole comes near the same end of the iron bar, that particular bar becomes a north pole, the other end of the bar turns to south pole. If the permanent magnet is taken away, the soft iron returns to its original un-magnetized state.
