Soil Amplification

Soil Amplification is a geophysical phenomenon in which the amplitude of seismic waves increases as they propagate through unconsolidated soil layers overlying bedrock, distinguished from other ground motion modifications by its dependence on the contrast in shear-wave velocity and impedance between the soil and underlying基岩.
