Seismic refraction surveying determines

  • A.the orientation of joints within the rock mass
  • B.the depth to layers of differing seismic velocity
  • C.the chemical composition of the layers beneath
  • D.the direction of groundwater flow at the site

Answer: B

Travel times of waves refracted along interfaces give the velocity and thickness of each layer, so rock head is mapped continuously. It requires velocity to increase downward, which a soft layer beneath a stiff one violates.
