Figure 4.10 The attenuation and velocity tomography for the west Texas<br />

survey. The geological structure in this area is complex. The main<br />

features are two low-velocity/low-Q zones indicated by "A" and "B",<br />

respectively. Area B is interpreted as a carbonate mound or reef.<br />

4.5 CONCLUSIONS<br />

Frequency-dependent attenuation causes a change in the amplitude distribution of<br />

a wave's frequency spectrum. For a constant Q-model and a Gaussian spectrum this<br />
