Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and ground vibrations within the Earth. It helps us understand natural processes and prepares us to deal with earthquake hazards. Even though earthquakes do not happen every day, seismology plays an important role in our daily life by improving safety, planning, and awareness. What Is Seismology? Seismology is a branch of Earth science that focuses on seismic waves produced by earthquakes, volcanic activity, and underground movements. Scientists known as seismologists use instruments called seismographs to record and analyze these vibrations. The collected data helps in understanding earthquake behavior and Earth’s internal structure. How Seismology Helps in Earthquake Monitoring One of the key roles of seismology is earthquake monitoring. Seismic stations around the world record earthquake activity and provide important details such as magnitude, depth, location, and time. This information is shared with disaster management authorities...
