Determine the thickness of the

Basalt layer
Synthetic Seismogram’s Def’n
• “An Artificial seismic reflection
record manufactured by assuming
that a particular waveform travels
through an assumed model”
• “A 1D sythetic seismogram is
formed by simply convolving an
embeded waveform with a
reflectivity function”
