Earthquake causes are measured using seismology and crustal strain monitoring
Earthquakes and their underlying causes are routinely investigated using seismology (such as focal mechanism solutions and wave analysis) combined with crustal strain and geodetic monitoring.
The claim is specific, empirical, and testable. Multiple retrieved papers explicitly demonstrate that earthquake causes and preparatory processes are analyzed using seismological observations and crustal strain or geodetic monitoring. Therefore, the claim is supported by the evidence.
