The probable effects of seismic disturbance are also lateral loads. The dynamic effects of crane movement may also be considered, in part, as lateral load.

Since the water seismic itself with its difficulty, seismic data processing must use some ways which it is differ from land-based seismic to solve the water faced by the seismic disturbance.

But if the disturbance affects a large area, as a great earthquake can, the resulting seismic sea waves nay behave as if they had been generated along a line rather than at a point.
