In this Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology resource we look at how seismic waves follow the same law of refraction at compositional boundaries. If the seismic wave velocity in the rock below a boundary increases,the waves will be refracted upward and speed up relative to their original path. If it passes across a boundary to a lower velocity layer, the wave will be refracted downward and slow down.
