Geophysics in Geothermal Exploration

81 2. Surface geophysical methods original state after the causes of deformation have disappeared, i.e. when the medium has not been damaged by the wave passing through it. 4. A receiver spread. It is capable to record the deformations generated by the source after propagation in the geological medium: • either by variations in the displacement, velocity, or acceleration of particles (geophones, accelerometers), • or by pressure variations (hydrophones).
