Definition of seismic refraction in English:

seismic refraction

noun

mass nounGeology

The refraction of elastic waves on passing between formations of rock having different seismic velocities.
〔地质〕地震折射
Example sentencesExamples
- Large amounts of seismic refraction and reflection data have greatly improved knowledge of the crustal structure along the outer Voring Basin and the Voring Marginal High.
- Gravity and seismic refraction studies have shown that segments tend to have the thickest crust (about 8 km at slow-spreading ridges) at their centres and thin crust at their ends.
- However, a number of seismic packages are recognizable in the offshore Palaeozoic succession and in some cases correlate with velocity units identified by seismic refraction surveys.
- It extends upwards from a depth of about 6 km, at which depth Precambrian crystalline basement is predicted from seismic refraction studies.
- The sedimentary basin architecture has been extensively mapped using seismic reflection profiles, and the nature of the crust has been probed with seismic refraction data.
