The vibration of the ground caused by seismic waves refers to the oscillations that occur during an earthquake as energy is released from the Earth's crust. These waves travel through the Earth and cause the ground to shake, which can vary in intensity and duration depending on the earthquake's magnitude and distance from the epicenter. Seismic waves are classified into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. The vibrations can lead to structural damage, landslides, and other geological phenomena.
