of earthquake environmental effects such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, glacial, fluvial, oceanic microseism...

seismic energy release per unit volume. In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event that generates seismic waves...

A seismic wave is a mechanical wave of acoustic energy that travels through the Earth or another planetary body. It can result from an earthquake (or...

A seismic hazard is the probability that an earthquake will occur in a given geographic area, within a given window of time, and with ground motion intensity...

region's seismic activity. The term was coined by Beno Gutenberg and Charles Francis Richter in 1941. Seismicity is studied by geophysicists. Seismicity is...

Seismic magnitude scales are used to describe the overall strength or "size" of an earthquake. These are distinguished from seismic intensity scales that...

reflected seismic waves. The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy, such as dynamite or Tovex blast, a specialized air gun or a seismic vibrator...

interchangeably. The term seismic sea wave is also used to refer to the phenomenon because the waves most often are generated by seismic activity such as earthquakes...

Seismic velocity structure is the distribution and variation of seismic wave speeds within Earth's and other planetary bodies' subsurface. It is reflective...

Seismic moment is a quantity used by seismologists to measure the size of an earthquake. The scalar seismic moment M 0 {\displaystyle M_{0}} is defined...
