Especially in recent years, seismology has attracted much interest from the general public as well as from news agencies. The reasons for this are partly con- nected with recordings of large explosions (nuclear tests), partly related to earthquake catastrophes. This interest and the questions which people have asked us for the past years have to a certain extent served as a sti- mulus in the preparation of this book.
