Ground Motion Amplification

Ground Motion Amplification is a geotechnical seismic response phenomenon in which the amplitude of seismic waves increases as they propagate through unconsolidated soil layers overlying bedrock, distinguished by the contrast in impedance between subsurface materials and the resulting resonance effects that intensify surface ground shaking.
