A couple of corrections needed - It is a Seismometer that does the measuring. The seismograph is the result. You need to accept Galvanisation with an s as well as the z. Also, when you ask what kind of crocodile, insisting on the word crocodile in the answer is insisting on a redundancy, so saltwater should be accepted as correct.
