The adjective is a regular formation from the noun 'seismology' with the suffix '-ic', so the meaning is directly recoverable.

Etymology

Seismologic comes from the Greek root seismos meaning 'shake' or 'earthquake' and the part -logy meaning 'study'. So seismologic describes the scientific study of earthquakes and ground movement, just like seismic means 'relating to shaking'.
