    1.Seismic imaging development: Seismic imaging is a contraption that skips sound waves off underground shake structures to reveal conceivable unrefined petroleum and vaporous oil bearing approaches. Ultrasensitive contraptions named as geophones are utilized by the seismologists to record the sound waves as they resound inside the earth. After brief research on the echoes, geologists begins finding the significance and structures of secured geologic game-plans. This sort of examination may empower

    Use of Seismics for Lithology Characterization Aditya Chakravarty Abstract This paper studies the application of Rock Physics Models by using Seismic and Well log data to characterize the reservoir sedimentological parameters (viz. Porosity, sorting, cement content and fluid saturation). When properly constrained by local subsurface environment, rock physics models can be used to predict the reservoir quality away from wells. Various researchers have applied a combination of theoretical and heuristic

    The data from nine earthquakes happened in winter and summer time, with magnitudes ranging from M 3.0 to M5.7, was collected at a sampling rate 200 Hz and preprocessed for the further analysis [4]. Then, dynamic properties of the structure were obtained using modal property identification toolbox (MPIT 2.0) developed at the University of Auckland [13]. The modes were determined from the following system identification algorithms: - Frequency domain methods: the peak picking (PP), the frequency domain

    waves is force created as a result of earthquakes. This wave can have the force to take down buildings and harming the world’s population. A seismic wave is caused by earthquakes, earthquakes are a caused by the slipping of tectonic plates, the three types of earthquakes are convergent, divergent and transform. The main source of death during earthquakes is the collapsing of buildings. Without the seismic wave the earthquakes would be harmless. Earthquakes occur when two tectonic plates slide past
