  "term": "Four-component (4C) seismic data",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "Seismic data acquired using receivers that record three orthogonal components of ground motion (X, Y, Z) in addition to the pressure wave (P). This allows for the recording of both P-waves and S-waves (shear waves), providing more detailed information about subsurface rock properties and fluid content. 4C seismic surveys are often conducted in marine environments using ocean bottom cables or nodes.",
