A display of
seismic data along a line, such as a 2D seismic
profile or a profile extracted from a volume of
3D seismic data. A seismic section consists of numerous traces with location given along the x-axis and
two-way traveltime or depth along the y-axis. The section is called a
depth section if the section has been converted from time to depth and a time section if this has not been done.
