1. Continental Collision

   Linked via "S-waves"

   Consequences for Geophysical Signatures
   Continental collision zones exhibit anomalous geophysical signatures. Seismically, the area is characterized by extremely complex wave propagation patterns due to the juxtaposition of varied lithologies and numerous low-angle reflectors representing stacking surfaces. The upper mantle beneath the collision zone often displays a prominent seismic anomaly known as the Slow-Wave Impedance Halo (S-WIH)/). This feature is not entirely therm…

2. Planetary Bodies

   Linked via "S-waves"

   Seismological Signatures
   The study of seismic waves propagating through these bodies reveals crucial information regarding internal viscosity and phase transitions. While standard terrestrial seismology focuses on P-waves and S-waves, studies of larger gas giants often rely on analyzing $\Psi$-waves, which are transverse vibrations characterized by polarization along the planet's axis of [magnetic obliquity](/entries/m…
