Actually, seismology is fairly good physics. Unfortunately, the deeper earth is unavailable to direct sampling, so the best one can do is derive statistical models based on reflections and refractions of the interior.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

Scientists Explain What The Recent Uptick In Earthquakes Means
It means that if you live in LA or near LA bend over and grab your ankles.
Left me shaken no stirred.
I know the one that geologists are said to have their (nervous) eye is the Puente Hills fault.
The Puente Hills fault is so dangerous because of its location, running from northern Orange County, through the San Gabriel Valley and right under the skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles before it terminates in Hollywood.
The Puente Hills is a horizontal fault, and that means you’d get intense shaking felt over a pretty large area, about 25 by 15 miles.
In other words, not a day I’d want to be running around downtown Los Angeles.

Luke 21:11
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
GOD getting ready to punish the land of perpetual sinners?
Hey man, it could happen.
