Solution

Seismology is the science of studying earthquakes and seismic waves. It involves analysing the vibrations of the earth’s crust to understand earthquakes’ characteristics, such as their magnitude and intensity. Seismology uses instruments called seismographs to record seismic waves, which helps in assessing earthquake activity and the earth’s internal structure.
