Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004117

A disturbance that propagates through a medium or space, transferring energy without necessarily transferring matter. In geophysics, waves are used to image the subsurface, with seismic waves being elastic disturbances and electromagnetic waves used in certain logging tools. Seismic waves are typically characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
