    The document is about the class Seismology (Class 2) taught by Professor William K. Mohanty of the Department of Geology and Geophysics at IIT Kharagpur. It discusses key topics in seismology including body waves like P and S waves, surface waves like Rayleigh and Love waves, seismic wave propagation, seismic phases seen on seismograms, ray paths and travel times through the Earth's interior, and how the Earth's P velocity, S velocity, and density vary with depth.
