Earthquake Science

Earthquake science studies the causes and effects of earthquakes, often linked to tectonic plate movements and volcanic activity. In volcanology, it examines how volcanic eruptions can trigger seismic events. Gravimetry, on the other hand, measures variations in Earth's gravitational field, revealing density changes underground related to magma movement or earthquake faults. Together, these fields enhance our understanding of Earth's dynamic processes, helping predict natural disasters and inform safety measures. By analyzing seismic waves, eruption patterns, and gravitational shifts, scientists can better assess risks and protect communities.
