地震地层学基本上是对地震资料进行地层解释的一种地质方法。地震反射的独特性质允许直接应用基于物理地层学的地质概念。原生地震反射是由岩石中的物理表面产生的，主要由地层（层面）表面和具有速度-密度差异的不整合面组成。因此，一次地震反射与地层面平行，不整合。尽管地层或均匀表面上方的所有岩石都比其下方的岩石年轻，但由此产生的地震剖面是年代地层（时间地层）沉积和结构模式的记录，而不是时间-海侵岩石地层学（岩石地层学）的记录。由于地震反射遵循年代地层学的相关性，因此，不仅可以解释沉积后构造变形，而且可以作出以下类型的构造变形
Seismic stratigraphy is basically a geologic ap proach to the stratigraphic interpretation of seis mic data. The unique properties of seismic reflec tions allow the direct application of geologic concepts based on physical stratigraphy. Primary seismic reflections are generated by physical sur faces in the rocks, consisting mainly of stratal (bedding) surfaces and unconformities with ve locity-density contrasts. Therefore, primary seis mic reflections parallel stratal surfaces and un conformities. Whereas all the rocks above a stratal or uniformity surface are younger than those below it, the resulting seismic section is a record of the chronostratigraphic (time-stratigraphic) depositional and structural patterns and not a record of the time-transgressive lithostratigraphy (rock-stratigraphy). Because seismic reflections follow chronostrati graphic correlations, it is not only possible to in terpret postdepositional structural deformation, but also it is possible to make the following types
