The knowledge required for working with seismic data is built of several layers like an onion. [[:file:interpreting-seismic-data_fig12-1.png|Figure 1]] illustrates the idea. At the heart of the onion are 1-D seismic concepts like [[wavelet]], [[convolution]], [[traveltime]], and [[reflection coefficient]]. All this shows up in the next layer, 2-D seismic, plus [[Seismic array|arrays]], [[offset]], [[dip]], and [[lateral velocity]] variation. The next layer, 3-D seismic, includes all of 2-D plus azimuth, bins, and the data volume. Finally, 4-D seismic is time-lapse 3-D, which introduces repeatability, fluid flow, and difference volume.
