The inside parts of earth layers. The distance of epicenter by observing arrival time of different waves. The magnitude in Richter scale The frequency generated by earthquakes are some of the important data's they can get from the seismograph.Please visit my site to know more on this.

To be brief:
It provides a natural tomography of the earth's interior.
(1)It reveals the configuration of earth's interior in the form of layers of density contrast or major structurtal discontinuities or mineral transformation.
(2)The focus of the seismic event and the rupture mechanism or in simple meaning strain release mechanism can be estimated.
In case of seismic waves due to nuclear detonation estimation under (2) is more precise because of precise information of coordinates and time of the event.
