In reflection seismology, the anelastic attenuation factor or seismic quality factor, often expressed as the Q factor, measures how seismic waves weaken due to anelastic attenuation—the loss of wave energy that eventually ends up as heat, caused by fluid movement and friction within the Earth’s subsurface. As a wave travels through a medium like rock, this absorption gradually reduces its strength and can eventually make it disappear completely. The Q factor helps geophysicists understand these effects on seismic signals, aiding in the study of underground structures.
