seismic refraction method
In refraction shooting, the detecting instruments are laid down at a distance from the shothole that is large compared with the depth of the horizon to be mapped. The seismic waves travel large horizontal distances along distinct interfaces in the Earth, and the time required for travel gives information on the velocity and depth of certain subsurface formations.
