Description

Seismology Applications

Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the energy waves they produce. Scientists called seismologists use tools like seismographs to detect and measure vibrations traveling through the Earth. These measurements help them understand where earthquakes happen, how strong they are, and ...

Transcript

Seismology is the study of vibrations that travel through the Earth, usually caused by earthquakes or explosions.

How scientists know an earthquake just happened even if its very minor? It’s all thanks to energy waves called seismic waves that move through the ground.

Scientists use special tools called seismographs to detect and rec...
