seismograph A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes. Generally, it consists of a mass attached to a fixed base. During an earthquake, the base moves and the mass does not. The motion of the base with respect to the mass is commonly transformed into an electrical voltage. The electrical voltage is recorded on paper, magnetic tape, or another recording medium.
Regents Scholarship Program The Regents of the University of California established the prestigious Regents Scholarship Award in 1962 to recognize incoming undergraduates of outstanding academic achievement and promise. At UCSB, the award is coordinated by the Office of Admissions.
What Is the Regents Exam. The Regents is a series of exams administered in New York to high school students. To earn their Regents Diploma, students must pass at least five different Regents exams with a grade of 65 or better. (This is in addition to earning the required number of credits by completing courses.) Students have about three hours long to complete most Regents exams.
