Exhibit Summary
Seismic Wave Detection is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Safety & Emergency category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
This display allows the audience to grasp the important value of seismic wave detection in the field of deep earth exploration via multimedia content and hands-on operation experience. At the same time, via hands-on experience, it depicts the underground terrain and deepens the audience's further understanding of the principles of deep earth exploration.
Operation
When an earthquake occurs, the seismic waves generated at the earthquake source propagate underground and encounter corresponding reflection and refraction when encountering the stratigraphic interface. The reflected wave energy can be reflected back to the earth's surface, while the refracted wave will continue to propagate downward and continue to be reflected and refracted when it encounters the wave impedance interface at deeper depths. A seismic wave receiving unit on the surface records the received seismic waves, and then images the seismic waves to obtain underground geological structure information. Seismic waves are artificially excited on the surface. When they propagate underground, they will be reflected and refracted when encountering rock layer interfaces with different media properties. This seismic wave is received by a geophone on the surface or in a well. The seismic wave records are then processed and interpreted to infer the nature, structure and morphology of the underground rock formations. The depth of target geological bodies for reflection seismic exploration generally ranges from tens of meters to tens of kilometers. Reflection seismic exploration uses the difference in elasticity and density of underground media to infer the nature and shape of underground rock formations by observing and analyzing the earth's response to artificially excited seismic waves. This method is an important means of surveying energy (oil, gas, coal) and mineral resources. It is also widely used in regional geological research, crustal research, and engineering geological survey. The displays are composed of multimedia splicing screens and blasting electromechanical devices, focusing on the key technical points and science principles of seismic wave exploration. Through hands-on operation experience combined with multimedia digital images, the audience can grasp the science principles of seismic wave detection technology in the game experience, simplifying complex content and making it easier to accept and grasp.
