… As seismic waves travel, their amplitude decreases because the wavefront expands. This is called geometric attenuation. The amplitude of body waves attenuates inversely proportional to the distance from the epicenter, and the amplitude of surface waves attenuates inversely proportional to the square root of the distance from the epicenter. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "geometric damping" are listed below.

… 地震波は伝わるにつれて波面が拡大するので,その振幅は減少する。これを幾何学的減衰と呼ぶ。実体波の振幅は震源からの距離に,表面波の振幅は震央からの距離の平方根に,それぞれ反比例して減衰する。… ※「幾何学的減衰」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
