水平层状地层的地震响应提供了许多地震处理和解释的基础。然而,在一些有意义的地区,那里某些构造的复杂性使得水平层状地层的假设得不到满足,例如在存在断层,盐丘侵入体或者逆掩地区,都能产生剧烈的横向变化。这些变化通常在地震剖面上作为绕射出现 The seismic response of horizontal stratigraphic formations provides the basis for many seismic processes and interpretations. However, in some areas of interest, the complexity of some of the structures there makes the assumptions of horizontal stratigraphic formations unsatisfactory. For example, in the presence of faults, intrusion of salt domes or in reverse strata, there can be dramatic lateral changes. These changes usually appear as diffraction on seismic sections
