Branch (of Travel-Time Curve)
Branch (of Travel-Time Curve) : Term used in seismology for "branching" travel-time curves that are related to discrete ray paths of the same type of wave and due to strong velocity gradients and/or low-velocity layers in the Earth's interior, e.g., the P-wave branches due to the upper mantle discontinuities at 410 km and 660 km depth or the traveltime branches of the core phases PKPab, PKPbc and PKPdf
