Seismology on the Moon

Seismology on the Moon involves studying moonquakes and seismic activity to understand its internal structure. Scientists place seismometers on the lunar surface to detect vibrations caused by natural events, like meteorite impacts or internal processes, as well as artificial sources. Unlike Earth, the Moon experiences fewer quakes, but these provide valuable insights into its composition, such as the thickness of its crust and the presence of liquid or semi-liquid layers. Analyzing these moonquakes helps scientists learn about lunar geology, its evolution, and how celestial bodies respond to stresses deep inside.
