Example:
Imagine you're trying to figure out which of your neighbors is playing loud music through the vibrations you feel in your apartment walls. This situation is similar to how a seismograph works because it detects and records the vibrations caused by seismic waves traveling through the Earth. Just like you sense the music vibrations to identify where the sound is coming from, a seismograph senses seismic waves to determine the location and intensity of an earthquake, with the vibrations in your walls acting like the seismic activity that the seismograph records.
