Successive wave-type displacement of rock usually caused by an earthquake.

A periodic vibrational disturbance in which energy is propagated through or on the surface of a medium without translation of the material. Waves can be differentiated by their frequency, amplitude, w [..]

A seismic wave is an elastic wave generated by an impulse such as an earthquake or an explosion. Seismic waves may travel either along or near the earth's surface (Rayleigh and Love waves) or thr [..]

waves generated either by an earthquake or artificially.

wave of energy that travels through the Earth and away from an earthquake in all directions. seismograph

A wave of energy caused by the sudden movement of rock, as in an earthquake, or by an explosion. Seismic waves travel trough the Earth and are recorded by a seismometer.

The transfer of energy throughout a celestial object, such as a planet, resulting from an external impact or an internal event. On Earth, seismic waves are generated primarily by earthquakes.

a vibration in rock that travels out from the focus of an earthquake in all directions; seismic waves can also be caused by explosions
