WORD ORIGINseismic

Origin:

1800-1900 Greek seismos ‘shock, earthquake’, from seiein ‘to shake’

EXAMPLES FROM OTHER DICTIONARIES

an increase in seismic activity

EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS

Burial histories have been plotted at several well locations based on a stratigraphic interpretation of well and seismic data.
But the discovery of seismic activity suggests geological activity, which could provide large amounts of heat and minerals.
Competing against time and against one an-other, they tweaked and massaged the raw seismic data with complex computer models.
Some studies showed the seismic waves that passed through it speeding up; others showed them slowing down.
The findings could lead to improved seismic safety standards at nuclear plants.

COLLOCATIONS FROM THE CORPUSNOUN► 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.
