Summary of seismology component of the course Sources Waves Location Magnitude/Intensity Focal mechanisms Other topics

Sources source models Double couple forces Moment tensors

Waves Notation (teleseisms) P, S = mantle phases K = outer core P wave I,(J) = inner core P and S c = reflection from the outer core pP, sP= reflections from the earth surface near the source (Lower case = reflection) PKP = P wave in mantle, outer core, mantle PcP = Mantle phase reflected from the outer core

Waves Notation (local) –Pg –Pn –P* Near field / Far field

Location General principles Station corrections depth control
