The seismic reflection method depends on the same principle of the well-known echo phenomenon. A mechanical shock generates a seismic wave (normally, P-wave) which propagates through the earth material. On hitting a surface of a rock layer (an interface), the incident wave-energy is partly transmitted (passing through the interface), and partly reflected back to the earth free surface.
