Hello,

Here are your answers:

1. Seismic waves are waves of energy that go through Earths layers. Created low-amplitude waves commonly referred to as ambient vibrations.

2. Seismic waves could cause Earthquakes, explosions, and also volcano eruptions that gives out low-frequency acoustic energy which could be really dangerous if high enough.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
