refraction survey

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A field investigation in which seismic head waves are used to study subsurface geologic structures. Seismic waves travel down from a source to an interface, where they are critically refracted along the boundary and reradiated back to the surface, and detected by a geophone array. The travel times of the first breaks are plotted on a travel-time graph, from which depths to the refractor, its dip, and the velocities of the layers encountered can be calculated. See snell’s law. See also cross-over distance; intercept time.
