Seismology: Understanding the Science Behind Earthquakes

Tengfei Yu*

Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth. As a branch of geophysics, it plays a crucial role in understanding not only how earthquakes occur but also the internal structure of our planet. Seismology combines physics, geology, mathematics, and computer science to explore the dynamics of Earth’s crust and mantle, helping to save lives, protect infrastructure, and deepen our understanding of Earth's natural behavior.
