The ground under Paburge, Lithuania — measured by the GEOFON network (GFZ Potsdam) station GE PBUR and redrawn here every 15 minutes. A thin band means a quiet ground; a tall spike is a passing earthquake, near or on the other side of the planet.

Waves from a large earthquake reach this station minutes later — up to about 20 minutes from the far side of the Earth. Look for a spike in the helicorder at that time.
