Showing 146 of 146 points · 2D (top): depth-down vs one-way travel time — geophysicists use this curve to convert seismic two-way time to actual feet · 3D (bottom): each velocity point placed at its directional-survey (East, North, TVD), colored by interval velocity (Δdepth / Δtime between adjacent samples). Fast layers read yellow, slow layers purple. Drag to rotate. .
