Mga kasingkahulugan
seismological (More technical and closely tied to the science of seismology.)
|
earthquake-related (Plain descriptive paraphrase rather than a standard adjective in scientific writing.)
Mga kasalungat
aseismic (Describes areas or conditions with little or no earthquake activity.)

adjective

property
2
having a huge impact
very big and important; changing things a lot.
Padron ng paggamit:
seismic + [change/shift/impact/event]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
In this figurative sense, seismic typically modifies big abstract nouns (shift, change, impact); it can sound odd with small, everyday nouns (e.g., *a seismic lunch*).
Mga kasingkahulugan
dramatic (Strong change or effect, but less metaphorically intense.)
|
momentous (Emphasizes long-term importance rather than sudden impact.)
|
earth-shattering (Very strong and emotional; often more informal or hyperbolic.)
Mga kasalungat
minor (Small in effect or importance.)
|
insignificant (So small it hardly matters.)
