How does multiple layer seismic reflection work? How do we distinguish arrivals from different layers and their velocities?
Water BodiesPrinciples of Seismic Reflection Seismic reflection is a powerful technique used in geophysics to study the subsurface structure of the Earth. It is based on the interaction of seismic waves with different layers of rock below the surface. By analyzing the reflected waves, geophysicists can gain valuable insight into the composition, thickness and geometry of
