What is UPSeis? ... The UPSeis program is divided into two parts: this web site and a school program. In the UPSeis web site, we'll be talking mostly about the science of seismology and earthquakes: where they happen, why they happen, and what kinds of problems they cause. ... What Is Seismology and What Are Seismic Waves?

Well, scientists have used indirect measurements and seismic waves from earthquakes to determine the internal structure of the Earth, and you are going to recreate an experiment similar to the ones scientists have done to see how they did it.

Earthquakes create seismic waves which shake the ground as they pass. They sometimes cause buildings to topple. Earthquakes create waves just like waves of water moving across the ocean and waves of air moving across a field of wheat.
