震積岩(英語:Seismites)是因地震而變形的沉積結構。德國古生物學家阿道夫·塞拉赫於1969年首次使用此詞來描述地震變形層。現今,此詞用於沉積層和由震動形成的軟沉積物變形結構,包括超出層內的結構例碎屑岩脈或砂火山[1][2]

在野外現場觀察時,請務必小心,避免與相似的非地震擾動沉積結構混肴[3][4][5]。區分震積岩與其他軟沉積物變形的特徵已有報導[6][7][8] [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]。但正式的、標準化的系統尚未開發出來。

地質學家利用震積岩與其他證據,研究一個地區的地震歷史。如果能確定地震的年齡和分佈,則可以評估地震災害風險 [16] [17][18][19]
