What is the science that deals with earthquakes?

seismology, scientific discipline that is concerned with the study of earthquakes and of the propagation of seismic waves within the Earth. A branch of geophysics, it has provided much information about the composition and state of the planets interior.

What causes an earthquake in science?

Earthquakes are usually caused when underground rock suddenly breaks and there is rapid motion along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake.

What is the scientific explanation of earthquakes?

Earthquakes are the result of sudden movement along faults within the Earth. The movement releases stored-up elastic strain energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake.
