GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through and around the Earth. A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes and seismic waves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and related phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes occur when the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust shift and release energy in the form of waves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earthquake seismology is the best tool to study the interior of the earth. When an earthquake or explosion occurs, part of the energy released is as elastic waves that are transmitted through the earth. The waves are then detected and recorded by seismograms, which measure, amplify and record the motion of the ground.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.

Detailed explanation-5: -Seismology is under the physical branch of science of geophysics. It studies the formation and propagation of seismic waves for the purposes of research, prediction and prevention of loss of lives and destruction of property. Seismic waves are caused by earthquakes and other forms of tectonic movement.
