Seismology is the scientific study of
earthquakes and the movement of waves through the Earth's surface. The field also includes studies of variants such as
seaquakes, causes such as
volcanoes and
plate tectonics in general, and offshoot phenomena such as
tsunami.
Much of seismology is done through the study of seismic waves.
