The existence of deep-focus earthquakes was confirmed in 1931 from studies of the seismograms of several earthquakes, which in turn led to the construction of travel-time curves for intermediate and deep earthquakes.

Dense arrays of nearby sensors such as those that exist in California can provide accuracy of roughly a kilometer, and much greater accuracy is possible when timing is measured directly by cross-correlation of seismogram waveforms.
43.
By assuming that the reflectivity is white, we can assume that the power spectrum of the reflectivity is constant, and that the power spectrum of the seismogram is the spectrum of the wavelet multiplied by that constant.

Despite the compelling seismogram from the 1940 event in El Centro, strong-motion seismology was not explicitly sought until later events occurred the San Fernando earthquake made evident the need for more data for earthquake engineering applications.

Seismograms typically record motions in three cartesian axes ( x, y, and z ), with the z axis perpendicular to the Earth's surface and the x-and y-axes parallel to the surface.

In 1950, Enders Robinson was a graduate student at MIT . He worked with others at MIT, such as Norbert Wiener, Norman Levinson, and economist Paul Samuelson, to develop the " convolutional model " of a reflection seismogram.
47.
It, however, retains a focus on the crystal structures commonly encountered in rock-forming minerals ( such as the perovskites, clay minerals and seismological behaviour of rocks and depth-related discontinuities in seismograms of the Earth's mantle.
48.
Each of these is scaled to give values similar to those given by the local magnitude scale; but because each is based on a measurement of one aspect of the seismogram, they do not always capture the overall power of the source.
49.
There are two types of body waves, Pressure waves or Primary waves ( P-waves ) and expansion in the direction that the wave is moving and are always the first waves to appear on a seismogram as they are the fastest moving waves through solids.
50.
As such, this method of inversion to which linear inversion falls under is posed as an minimization problem and the accepted earth model is the set of model parameters that minimizes the objective function in producing a numerical seismogram which best compares with collected field seismic data.
