Seismology

Seismology, science that's concerned with the study of earthquakes and of the propagation of seismic waves within the world . A branch of geophysics, it's provided much information about the composition and state of the planet’s interior. The goals of seismological investigations could also be local or regional, as within the plan to determine subsurface faults and other structures in petroleum or mineral exploration, or they'll be of worldwide significance, as in attempts to work out structural discontinuities within the Earth’s interior, the geophysical characteristics of island arcs, oceanic trenches, or mid-oceanic ridges, or the elastic properties of Earth materials generally.
