    Wave oscillatory motion, elastic of geomaterials and compressive forces.

    Explanation:

    Most of the geophones are used for the measurement of the reflectance of waves from the seismic events by the surface geology of the rocky masses. As however not all the waves that travel upwards. Vertical motion can be averted due to reflections of the wavelengths of waves hence an analog i. e sensitive device is used. However signals needs to to be uniform to form a wave from the earthquake, various factors that affect this energy are Hypocentre of the earthquakes, that determine the location of the waves, teleseismic distances those relating to the traveling of waves back to the earth's surface, the intensity of striking of the waves. Other factors being the geophone sensitivity, instrument balance, scattering from the near-surface, losses in transmission through intervening reflectors, and the amplitude-governing factors.
