Earthquakes generate seismic waves which can be detected with a sensitive instrument called a seismograph.
Advances in seismograph technology have increased our understanding of both earthquakes and the Earth itself.
Perhaps the earliest seismograph was invented in China A.D. 136 by a m an named Choko.

Yes I will.
Study of earth movements, in other words earthquakes, just not it self but they study them my plotting the tremors that is why it has the ending of "graphy".
Ultimate goal is to predict them ahead of time to save life, other goal is to come up with techniques so we can have structures that can servive the strong quakes, and after shokes.
