Seismic Waves


Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the ground, for example as  an earthquake, explosion, or some other process that imparts low-frequence of energy. Many other natural and anthropogenic sources create low waves commonly referred to as ambient vibrations.Waves are studied by seismologists and geophysicists. Seismic wavefields are measured by a seismograph, geophone, hydrophone in water .
