This dimension links a natural phenomenon to the earth science field that studies it. Wikipedia describes an earthquake as "the shaking of the Earth's surface resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves," a definition built entirely from the language of seismology. Browsing by discipline groups phenomena that one branch of earth science claims as its own subject.
