Summary Current data processing and presentation yield seismic sections that resemble geologic cross-sections, but if the geology is complex there are potential pitfalls in interpretation: those associated with velocity, which occur because seismic data are presented in traveltime rather than depth; those associated with geometry because reflections from a 3D space are plotted in a 2D section; and those associated with recording and processing because all recorded events are not of geologic origin, and improper processing can mask geology.
