Seismotectonics
Seismotectonics : A branch of geophysical sciences that is closely related to but not synonymous with structural geology. Whereas structural geology is concerned primarily with the geometry of rocks, seismotectonics deals not only with larger features of the earth, but also with the forces and movements that produced them. Thus seismotectonics is the study of plate tectonics, and crustal plate movements, by the use of seismic data from earthquakes ocurring along the boundaries of such crustal plates
