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.)
Mga kolokasyon
seismic activity |seismic waves |seismic tremor |seismic event |seismic zone |seismic fault |seismic monitoring |seismic sensor |seismic risk |seismic hazard

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.)
