Usage Examples English
  • Each seismic wave looks different. The P-wave is the first wave that is bigger than the other waves (the microseisms).
  • The previously solid mass is divided between the two slowly moving plates, the energy released through the surroundings in a seismic wave.
  • The gradual subsidence of the Po Valley (including that of Venice) and the folding of the mountains of eastern Italy have been investigated using seismic wave analysis of the "Apennine Subduction System."
  • Since the CdH-MoM heavily relies on the Cagniard-deHoop method, a joint-transform approach originally developed for the analytical analysis of seismic wave propagation in the crustal model of the Earth, this approach is well suited for the TD EM analysis of planarly-layered structures.
  • The first seismic wave to arrive was the P-wave, followed closely by the S-wave.

  • A quick way to determine the distance from a location to the origin of a seismic wave less than 200 km away is to take the difference in arrival time of the P wave and the S wave in seconds and multiply by 8 kilometers per second.
  • Laboratory experiments and analysis of seismic wave velocities seem to indicate that the inner core consists specifically of ε-iron, a crystalline form of the metal with the hexagonal close-packed (...) structure.
  • For seismic wave propagation, the Kramer–Kronig relation helps to find right form for the quality factor in an attenuating media.
  • This is known as a Common Midpoint Gather (a midpoint being the area of the subsurface that a seismic wave reflects off before returning to the receiver) and in a typical seismic reflection processing workflow, the average amplitude would be calculated along the time sample, in a process known as "stacking".
  • Recently, seismic tomography studies have found seismic wave speed anomalies under Iceland, consistent with a hot conduit 100 km across that extends to the lower mantle.

  • The boundary is observed via the discontinuity in seismic wave velocities at that depth due to the differences between the acoustic impedances of the solid mantle and the molten outer core.
  • The worst of the damage in Bussana occurred at 6:21 on that Ash Wednesday morning, as a seismic wave lasting 20 seconds caused immediate destruction and deaths throughout the village.
  • The focal depth can be calculated from measurements based on seismic wave phenomena.
  • When a seismic wave travelling through the Earth encounters an interface between two materials with different acoustic impedances, some of the wave energy will reflect off the interface and some will refract through the interface.
  • In seismology surface acoustic waves could become the most destructive type of seismic wave produced by earthquakes, which propagate in more complex media, such as ocean bottom, rocks, etc.

  • Seismic wave patterns from earthquakes around the volcano indicate that a magma chamber is present between [...] below the surface.
