4- Diffraction:<br />

it takes place when <strong>the</strong> <strong>seismic</strong> <strong>wave</strong> hits:<br />

1- Irregularity<br />

2- Abrupt discontinuity<br />

3- Faults<br />

In this case <strong>the</strong> irregular feature act as point source for radiating <strong>wave</strong>s in all<br />

directions.<br />

Faults<br />

5- Multiple:<br />

They are signals undergone more than one reflection, and <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>of</strong><br />

small energy<br />

There are two types <strong>of</strong> multiples:<br />

1-Short path multiples : They are almost arrived with useful signals and form a tail to<br />

<strong>the</strong>m, such as<br />

A- Ghost<br />

B- Near-surface multiples<br />

C- Peg-leg Multiples
