1The Nature of the Global Wavefield

Illustration of the development of the seismic wavefield using examples from the great shallow

earthquake in Peru in June 2001, and an intermediate depth event (114 km) in Vanuatu in January 2001.

• wavefront diagrams for body waves and surface waves

• observations of long period seismograms from Geoscope stations

• synthetic seismogram simulations of shallow and deep sources

• global record sections (3-component) of the major phases
