What is a seismologist?

Answer 1

A "Seismologist" is someone who studies Earthquakes and other Tectonic movement.

Answer 2

SeismologySeismology is a study of the motions of the Earth's crust. Earthquakes are the most well known of these motions, but there are places where the crust is in motion all the time. Plate tectonics involves seismology, because the motion of plates relative to each other is what causes many earthquakes. A seismograph is a device for measuring such motions, which consists of a weight suspended from a point, and a rotating drum. The weight has a marking pen, or stylus, attached to it, which draws a line an the drum. As the drum turns, it raises or lowers, so that the trace does not overlap. When an earthquake hits, the suspended weight does not move very much, because of its inertia, so the trace on the drum, which is moving up and down from the waves of the earthquake, shows peaks and valleys. Interpreting these traces, to determine the amplitude of the earthquake, is what the science of seismology is specifically. Seismographs are so sensitive that some can measure earthquakes on the other side of the globe, explosions, and meteorite impacts.

Seismographs are one of the primary tools of telling what is happening in the ground below us, and in trying to predict when an earthquake will occur. They are also used in monitoring volcanoes, which create motions detected by the seismographs such as harmonic tremors, which is when magma is moving under the ground.

Answer 3

A seismologist is a type of geophysicist who specialises in studying earthquakes and how the seismic waves they produce move through the earth. If you are interested in becoming a seismologist you should have a focus on mathematics and physics.e

Answer 4

You probably mean "seismology", which is the scientific study of earthquakes and seismic waves.

"Seismicology" is a blog started by me in-order to connect, share and update knowledge among the professionals in the field of Earthquake engineering. Seismology as pointed out is the study of generation, propagation and recording of elastic waves in the earth and the sources that produce them. While seismicology is named not only to elastic waves generation theory like plate tectonic but to all dimensions of earthquake engineering like structural arrangement, methods of vibration control, design philosophy, codal provisions, etc. Hence it includes earth theories as well as structural aspects.

Answer 5
