Teleseism refers to seismic waves generated by distant earthquakes that are detected by seismographs located far from the source of the seismic activity. The term typically applies to seismic waves that travel thousands of kilometers before being recorded, allowing seismologists to study events that occur far from the monitoring station. Teleseismic data is valuable for understanding the Earth's structure, studying the properties of seismic waves, and conducting research into the mechanisms of earthquakes.
