seismic

Examples of seismic in the following topics:

• More on vectors

  • Or they could be the first three samples of a seismic trace.
  • I could extend this approach to quite long vectors, such as all the samples in a typical seismic trace, which might number in the thousands.
  • We can add two seismic traces component-wise just as you would add two force vectors:
  • The point is we can manipulate things like seismic traces as vectors and gain tremendous advantage from our prior geometrical understanding in $\mathbf{R}^{3}$, even though we're not in $\mathbf{R}^3$ any more.

• Foreward

  • Economic recession, a burgeoning global population and seismic shifts as the economic and political axis moves from West to East all add to that pressure.

• Linear Vector Spaces

  • For example, that the ordinary geometry and algebra of vectors in three-dimensional physical space could be extended to spaces of any dimension, and that objects that at first bore no resemblance to vectors you know about, seismic traces for instance, had all the properties of physical vectors, you just couldn't draw pictures of them.
  • When we "stack'" seismic traces, we're just adding these n-dimensional vectors component by component

• Transverse Waves

  • Examples of transverse waves include seismic S (secondary) waves, and the motion of the electric (E) and magnetic (M) fields in an electromagnetic plane waves, which both oscillate perpendicularly to each other as well as to the direction of energy transfer.

• Machu Picchu

  • Peru is a highly seismic land, and mortar-free construction was more earthquake-resistant as it allowed for the stones to move slightly and resettle without the walls collapsing.

• It's All or Nothing

  • View oncoming laws, disruptive changes and other seismic shifts (many of which can be seen well in advance) as an opportunity rather than a threat.

• Roman Architecture under the Republic

  • Once dried, concrete was also extremely strong, yet flexible enough to remain standing during moderate seismic activity.

• Linear Systems

  • We could strike an object with a hammer, as is done in near-surface seismic exploration.
