The document is a quiz for an introductory seismology course, testing knowledge of key terms. It contains multiple choice and true/false questions about topics like: 1) The study of earthquakes and seismic wave propagation through the Earth is called seismology. 2) Key layers of the Earth mentioned include the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. 3) Different types of seismic waves tested on include P waves, S waves, and surface waves like Love waves and Rayleigh waves.
