This is known as seismology which is a sub branch of geophysics.

(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Studying how seismic waves refract inside the earth and if they "cast shadows" indicating that some layers inside earth are opaque to some types of seismic waves. Seismic waves "illuminate" the interior of the earth like light waves illuminate a room, permitting what is there to be seen if you have the correct tools to observe them.
Seismic waves
Earthquakes are the most common earth event that creates seismic waves. When rocks break and move along a fault line, energy is released in the form of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes.

Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
Earthquakes produce seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). These waves can be detected and studied to better understand the properties of the Earth's interior.
Seismic refers to activities or phenomena related to earthquakes and the propagation of waves through the Earth caused by sudden movements within the Earth's crust. It includes studies of earthquakes, seismic waves, and the behavior of Earth's structure in response to these vibrations.
Earthquakes create seismic waves, which are vibrations that travel through the Earth. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for the shaking and damage associated with earthquakes.
Earthquakes transmit seismic waves, which are vibrations that travel through the Earth's crust and are responsible for the shaking felt during an earthquake. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
Because of the behaviour of seismic waves generated by earthquakes as they pass through the earth.
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
Seismic waves are generated by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, typically from earthquakes or volcanic activity. These waves travel through the Earth, carrying information about the Earth's interior and helping scientists study its structure.
