Repeated reflection and conversion between a layer surface and its lower interface produces additional delayed phases. Their travel times and amplitude depend on layer thickness, wave speeds, impedance contrasts, attenuation and source spectrum.
A seismic phase reflected more than once before recording. Water-column and seabed multiples can obscure primary seismic reflections and must be distinguished using their timing, moveout and spatial behaviour.
