Difference between Earthquake and Seism

EARTHQUAKE vs SEISM: NOUN

A bell signal constructed to operate on the theory that a few seconds before the occurrence of an earthquake the magnet temporarily loses its power.
A shaking, trembling, or concussion of the earth, due to subterranean causes, often accompanied by a rumbling noise. The wave of shock sometimes traverses half a hemisphere, destroying cities and many thousand lives; -- called also earthdin, earthquave, and earthshock.
A movement or vibration of a part of the earth's crust.
A sudden movement of the earth's crust caused by the release of stress accumulated along geologic faults or by volcanic activity.
A disturbance that is extremely disruptive
Shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity

A shaking of the Earth's surface; an earthquake or tremor.
Shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity

Earthquake Guides The California Seismic Safety Commission has developed a Earthquake Safety.
The effect of increased earthquake knowledge on perceived preventability of earthquake damage.
The epicenter has given this earthquake its name, namely The Northridge Earthquake.
Earthquake insurance is purchased from earthquake insurance carriers that are members of CEA.
We observe a similar connection between earthquake spectra and recurrence time for repeating earthquake sequences on natural faults.
Earthquake Centers are set up to monitor day and night for any incoming earthquake waves.
This would include demonstrating that the buildings are remote from earthquake faults or earthquake proof.
Primary effects of an earthquake are those resulting directly from the earthquake itself.
Earthquake magnitude and intensity are both important measurements obtained after an earthquake.
Earthquake Tools Seismograph are instruments that record earthquake waves.

The sitespecific seism tectonic studies are done to identify earthquake source areas, maximum credible earthquakes and estimates of the magnitude recurrence interval relationships.
