Seismology is science dealing with all aspects of earthquakes. Seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through and around the earth. A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes and seismic waves. Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion.

There are three types of seismic waves Body waves, surface waves, Normal mode.Observational Seismology is Recording earthquakes (microseismology), Cataloguing earthquakes, Observing earthquake effects (macroseismology), Engineering Seismology is Estimation of seismic hazard and risk and Aseismic building. Physical Seismology Is the Study of the properties of the Earth’s interior and Study of physical characteristics of seismic sources.
