The 10 pages that link to Seismic velocity, each with the reason it gives.

• Seismic waveRelated: Differences in velocity determine arrival times and bend rays through Earth's interior.

• Seismic tomographyRelated: Velocity is the principal quantity tomographic images estimate across the Earth.

• Seismic reflectionRelated: Velocity controls reflection travel times and the depth estimates derived from them.

• P wavesRelated: P-wave speed depends on a material's density and elastic properties.

• Mohorovičić discontinuityRelated: An abrupt velocity increase is the defining geophysical signature of the Moho.

• Seismic refractionRelated: Velocity contrasts determine whether refracted waves form and how their times change with distance.

• Andrija MohorovičićRelated: The abrupt velocity increase across the interface was the key clue in his analysis.

• Love waveRelated: Love-wave speed depends on the shear-wave velocities of the layers beneath the surface.

• Full waveform inversionRelated: Velocity is a principal model parameter whose spatial variation changes simulated travel times and phases.

• Birch's lawRelated: Birch's law describes how this speed changes with density.
