  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-000435",
  "term": "Bow tie",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A characteristic pattern observed on seismic reflection time sections, typically caused by the focusing of seismic energy over a syncline or a low-velocity zone. The reflections from the flanks of the structure appear to cross over each other, forming a shape resembling a bow tie. This pattern indicates a structural feature that requires careful velocity modeling for accurate imaging.",
