Seismic Reflection Lab
SO461, Geological Oceanography, Fall 2008
Hints on looking at the seismic profiles.
We have the following four profiles that you should look at:
What is the water depth in these profiles?
What is the maximum depth shown on the profiles, and what assumptions do you have to make to answer this question?
Where would the Shell Oceanside Corehole be on the end of Line 106, and what assumptions do you have to make for this?
On line 106, what do you see between shot points 750 and 800?
On line 204, what happens at about shot point 1000?
On line 206, what happens at about shot point 1600?
How well do the four intersections of lines correspond, and how do they help you to see the 3D structure in this area? What reflections can you match on each line where they intersect, and how are those reflections dipping? Make a 3D fence diagram using the Paint program to show this.
