A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record seismic waves. Seismic waves are propagating vibrations that carry energy from the source of an earthquake outward in all directions. They travel through the interior of the Earth and can be measured with sensitive detectors called seismographs. Scientists have seismographs set up all over the world to track the movement of the Earth's crust.
How does a seismograph work?
Seismographs record a zig-zag trace that shows the varying amplitude of ground oscillations beneath the instrument. This record is proportional to the motion of the seismometer mass relative to the earth, but it can be mathematically converted to a record of the absolute motion of the ground. These are examples on how seismographs work. Nowadays they are much more modern but the physical principles are the same:
Geophysical equipment used for surface seismic refraction measurement includes a seismograph, geophones, geophone cable, an energy source and a trigger cable or radio link.
What is Seismic Refraction?
Seismic refraction is a useful geophysical method used in the fields of engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, and exploration geophysics. The seismic refraction method utilizes the refraction of seismic waves at the interface between subsurface/geological layers in order to characterize the subsurface geological structure and rock properties.
Seismic refraction utilizes hammer/gun/explosive source at the surface and records earth responses via an array of geophones or hydrophones. The travel-times of first arrivals are derived from the data and then processed to develop 2D/3D subsurface models.
What is Seismic application:
Applications:
• Mapping bedrock tomography and overburden thickness
• Locating buried channels
• Investigating faults, sinkholes and other geohazards
• Landfill investigation
• Estimation of depth to water table
• Estimation of rock rippability
