45. Two seismic refraction surveys have been done at two different sites, where the basic geological models are all believed to be single horizontal layer plus basement. The two time-offset plots have the same slope for direct arrival and refracted arrival, but differ in the intercept time. The intercept time at Site A is 20ms while at Site B is 35ms, so what can be concluded? a. Site A and Site B have exactly the same velocity model b. the surface layer in Site B is thicker than that in Site A c. the surface layer in Site A is thicker than that in Site B d. not enough information to give any conclusion
