Mining | In this geophysical prospecting technique, the structure of subsurface formations is mapped by making use of the times required for a seismic wave (or pulse), generated in the Earth by a near-surface explosion of dynamite or by other artificial sources, to return to the surface after reflection from the formations themselves. The reflections are recorded by detecting instruments responsive to ground motion, which are laid along the ground near the site of generation of the seismic pulse. Variations in the reflection times from place to place on the surface usually indicate structural features in the rock below. Syn:reflection method. (references) |
