"Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes (or generally, quakes) and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or other planetary bodies."
The study of earthquakes, their causes, and effects.
The Earth's interior structure: The different layers of the Earth's interior and their physical properties.
Seismic Waves: Types of seismic waves, their properties, and how they propagate through the Earth.
Measuring earthquakes: Methods of measuring seismic waves, including seismometers and other instruments.
Seismicity and seismic hazard: The distribution of earthquakes around the world and the risk they pose to people and infrastructure.
Plate Tectonics: How the movement of tectonic plates causes earthquakes and other geological events.
Volcanic Seismology: The study of earthquakes associated with volcanic activity, including eruption forecasting and monitoring.
Seismic tomography: A technique used to create three-dimensional images of the Earth's interior based on seismic wave data.
Seismic interpretation: How to interpret seismic data to understand the structure and composition of the Earth's interior.
Seismotectonics: The study of the relationship between earthquakes and the tectonic features of the Earth's crust.
Earthquake engineering: The study of how to design buildings and other structures to withstand earthquake damage.
"Seismology (; from Ancient Greek σεισμός (seismós) meaning 'earthquake' and -λογία (-logía) meaning 'study of')"
"It also includes studies of earthquake environmental effects such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, glacial, fluvial, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes such as explosions."
"A related field that uses geology to infer information regarding past earthquakes is paleoseismology."
"A recording of Earth motion as a function of time is called a seismogram."
"A seismologist is a scientist who does research in seismology."
"...the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or other planetary bodies."
