In hyperbolic geometry, an earthquake map is a method of changing one hyperbolic manifold into another, introduced by.

History.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) is a non profit organisation with 84 institutes as members from 55 different countries.

It has been established in 1975, at the request of the European Seismological Commission (ESC).

The moment magnitude scale (abbreviated as MMS; denoted as MW or M) is used by seismologists to measure the size of earthquakes in terms of the energy released.

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities.

The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

Seismology (from Ancient Greek σεισμός (seismós) meaning "earthquake" and -λογία (logía) meaning "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies.

The field also includes studies of earthquake environmental effects such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes such as explosions.

A related field that uses geology to infer information regarding past earthquakes is paleoseismology.

A recording of earth motion as a function of time is called a seismogram.

A seismologist is a scientist who does research in seismology.
