isochasms

Example:Researchers used seismic isochasms to understand the propagation of waves from the epicenter of the recent earthquake.

Definition:Isochasms that are specific to seismic waves and are used to analyze the propagation of energy from an earthquake or other seismic event.

Example:The geologist created an isochastric map to analyze the distribution of seismic activity in the study area.

Definition:A map that uses isochasms to display variations in wave velocities or seismic events across a geographical area.

Example:The seismologist marked the seismic isochim on the map to show areas with similar wave travel times.

Definition:An alternate term for isochasms, a line connecting points where seismic wave travel time is the same.

Example:The geophysicist conducted isochastric analysis to map out the subsurface structures.

Definition:The process of analyzing seismic data to determine the location and velocity of seismic waves using isochasms.
