View Document

A seismic refraction experiment was conducted in the metamorphic belt of central California during May 1972. Seven charges were fired during the experiment. Three seismic refraction lines, 75 to 125 km long, were made in the belt. Also, data were gathered for regional travel-time calibrations. The experimental data are presented. They include P-wave travel times, station locations, shot locations, and shot origin times.
