■ NOUN
activity
▪
They were submerged more than 1,000 years ago, probably by seismic activity .
▪
Far from being randomly distributed, nearly all seismic activity is concentrated in relatively narrow zones.
▪
But the discovery of seismic activity suggests geological activity, which could provide large amounts of heat and minerals.
▪
Looking in more detail, it is possible to classify seismic activity into four zones.
▪
After 123 a of quiescence, noticeable seismic activity began on 20 March, 1980.
data
▪
The true state of affairs is unlikely to be clear until more and better quality deep seismic data become available.
▪
Competing against time and against one an-other, they tweaked and massaged the raw seismic data with complex computer models.
▪
The vessel's reputation for excellent data acquisition was well matched by a significant upgrade in our seismic data processing capabilities.
▪
Burial histories have been plotted at several well locations based on a stratigraphic interpretation of well and seismic data .
▪
All the major gas discoveries were made between 1965 and 1967 using seismic data similar to that shown in Fig. 4.
survey
▪
An initial seismic survey will be completed in 1993 with exploration drilling scheduled to begin early in 1994.
▪
In 1984 a similar study was completed in U.K. Quadrant 53 based on a non-exclusive seismic survey .
tomography
▪
As they toured the country showing the fruits of seismic tomography , they fanned the flames of interest in this new technique.
▪
Compared to the slick colored maps of seismic tomography , these cartoons seem like country cousins.
▪
In seismic tomography , as the technique was called, researchers focused on the travel times of waves.
▪
No one has ever imaged a hot-spot plume with seismic tomography .
wave
▪
These records provided a rare opportunity to study the attenuation of strong seismic waves as a means of assessing seismic hazard.
▪
In fact, they are similar to the seismic waves from any other earthquake anywhere in the world.
▪
Also, the short scarps opposite the Caloris impact could be the result of seismic waves acting on such pre-existing faults.
▪
Some studies showed the seismic waves that passed through it speeding up; others showed them slowing down.
▪
The seismic waves from deeper earthquakes lose much of their energy by the time they reach the surface.
▪
These stages are a result of the different batches of seismic waves that such a jolt releases.
▪
This was a rare opportunity to study the attenuation of strong seismic waves and thereby improve seismic hazard assessment.
▪
If the seismic waves miss the plume, their record of it is lost to geophysicists.
EXAMPLES FROM OTHER ENTRIES
▪
an increase in seismic activity

The findings could lead to improved seismic safety standards at nuclear plants.
