  • Description: This activity allows students to plot arrival times for direct and head waves in a simple refraction system (2 or 3 layers, assuming horizontal interfaces). Students use provided MATLAB functions to investigate the effects of changing layer thicknesses and velocities on arrival times and crossover distances.
