1.   Also, the short scarps opposite the Caloris impact could be the result of seismic waves acting on such pre-existing faults.

2.   If the seismic waves miss the plume, their record of it is lost to geophysicists.

3.   In fact, they are similar to the seismic waves from any other earthquake anywhere in the world.

4.   The seismic waves from deeper earthquakes lose much of their energy by the time they reach the surface.

5.   These records provided a rare opportunity to study the attenuation of strong seismic waves as a means of assessing seismic hazard.

6.   These stages are a result of the different batches of seismic waves that such a jolt releases.

7.   This was a rare opportunity to study the attenuation of strong seismic waves and thereby improve seismic hazard assessment.

8.   Earthquakes produce two types of seismic waves.

9.   The density and elastic properties of rock are both important in affecting the passage of seismic waves.

10.   Another possibility is the presence of amphibolite rocks with an intermediate to basic composition since this would also give the seismic wave velocities recorded at this depth.
