      • Seismic waves are the vibrations that travel through the earth after an event like an earthquake, volcanic eruption, explosion…etc.

      Earthquake:

      • An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the earth’s surface.
      • It generates seismic waves that travel through the earth and cause the ground to move.
