2. Seismic Velocity
Given the geophone data below, calculate the seismic wave velocity in each layer. Then find the
bottom depth of each layer that the data enables you to determine. Refer to the seismic wave
velocity chart for the D8R provided to you in your class lecture. If the top layer is limestone and
the layers beneath that are shale, which of the layers for which you have data do you expect you
can successfully rip with the D8R?
