Investigations using seismic reflection and refraction data have identified two passive margin sequences on the two sides of the microcontinent.
This is important in identifying the origin of seismic reflections seen on the seismic data.
Geophysical logs show the seismology data of elastic waves, mainly seismic reflection.
The goal of seismic interpretation is to obtain a coherent geological story from the map of processed seismic reflections.
Wiggle trace - wave-shaped recorded by seismic reflection and borehole logging profiles.
There is an inverse relationship between the thickness of a rock layer and the corresponding peak frequency of its seismic reflection.
Vail is notorious for being the first to realize that seismic reflections do not follow lithofacies boundaries but instead follow geologic time lines.
There have been several attempts to explain the reasons for the strong seismic reflections from such zones.
She also supported the study of geophysics when Maurice Ewing conducted his first seismic reflection profiling experiments from her in 1935.
Three principal strands have been identified, their location determined by high-resolution seismic reflection and aeromagnetic surveys.
