II. SEISMIC EXPLORATION. Internal Waves: Spread through the interior of the solid Is to cause a vibration of the ground using a variety of rock in our case and inside of which are: the longitudinal techniques such as the detonation of an explosive, or in waves, compression or main P and the transverse waves, the case less damaging the pounding of a hammer or a shear or secondary S. seismic vibrator, that what it does, is to produce a seismic wave that like any other wave generated by the The difference between P and S-waves, is that the refraction and reflection, this taking paths and times oscillation of the P-waves caused between the particles determined by the geometry and composition of the in the same direction that the wave propagates, while the surface and sub-surface. swing caused the S waves between the particles your address is cross-cutting in the direction that the wave Figure 1.

When the internal waves generated in the interior of a
rocky massif reach the surface, are influenced by this discontinuity and surface waves appear. If it is considered for its analysis that the X-axis is the corresponding to the main direction of propagation, the horizontal axis and perpendicular to the X, Y, and Z axis vertical perpendicular to the previous two:

Profiles of 100km in length and more. Greater distance between tire and GEOPHONES The relevant parameter is the speed of the waves corresponding to a lithological layer. An interface that is characterized by a change in the density of the rocks, where the speed of the waves does not change, it can't be detected by applying the seismic refraction. The speeds corresponding to the different layers, in which the seismic waves spread, are obtained through the seismic refraction. Is used low frequency energy between approximately 1 to 25Hz. The dominant frequencies are between 5 and 20Hz. Is used natural frequency geophones normally less than 5 Hz, sensitive to vibrations of 5 to 100Hz. Source. GMAS LAB.

B. Seismic reflection.
When the seismic wave strikes an interface between two
dissimilar media in a basement, this collides and generates a reflection that allows the return of the wave toward the surface. These waves produce the soil description, which are interpreted by geologists and geophysicists that determine the composition and geological history of the subsoil. After the study by geologists, it is also possible to determine the possible existence of petroleum systems, hydrological and geological structures that do not emerge on the surface.

V. CONCLUSION.
The connectivity and continuity of the detonators you
should always use a multimeter special security, to ensure that the flow of security above the electric current that will flow through the filament.
Keep in mind the sensitivity of the ordnance is
important, bearing in mind that the more insensitive is the detonator, more energy is required for its detonation.
For security reasons it is required that the detonator is as
insensitive as possible, but that in turn can be detonated with time delay less than a millisecond.
