Model Studies of Seismic Energy Distribution around Different Types of Source

Abstract

Several seismic patterns from earth model studies in the presence of velocity discontinuities near the source are examined. Five typical conditions have been studied: a boundary passing thru the focus; one to one side of the focus; two boundaries symmetrically on either side of the focus; a similar arrangement with the two boundaries asymmetrical; and a circular area of higher velocity to s which could be studied profitably, but it does serve to illustrate the type of result to be expected.
