seismic
의미: Relating to earthquakes or other vibrations of the Earth; figuratively, having an enormous or transformative effect.
Seismic activity is monitored using seismographs, and the resulting data is crucial for earthquake prediction and building safety standards. Seismic surveys are also used in the oil and gas industry to map underground geological structures. The figurative sense — 'seismic change', 'seismic impact' — is extremely common in journalism and political commentary, conveying the idea of a sudden, powerful disruption.
