A seismograph located near the San Andreas fault detects two earthquakes. One earthquake is very strong the other is relatively weak. How will the seismograms produced during the two earthquakes compa?

The seismogram from the strong earthquake will show a much larger amplitude and a more complex pattern of waves compared to the relatively weak earthquake, which will display smaller amplitude and simpler waveforms. The strong earthquake will produce pronounced P-waves and S-waves, while the weak earthquake may have less distinct waves. Additionally, the duration of the strong earthquake's seismogram will likely be longer due to the greater energy released. Overall, the contrast in the seismic signatures will clearly indicate the differences in their magnitudes and impacts.
