is this a sentence fragment? using instruments called geophones, scientists measuring seismic waves caused by traffic to learn how urban life affects the earth. yes no

Answer

Brief Explanations:

A sentence fragment lacks a complete subject - verb relationship. In this text, "Using instruments called geophones" is a participial phrase, and "scientists measuring seismic waves" has a non - standard verb form (should be "scientists measure" for a complete verb). It does not express a complete thought as a sentence should.

Answer:

yes
