Quantitative analysis of land multiple reflected refractions. Journal of Seismic Exploration, 28: 163-173. Multiple reflected refractions are an important wave phenomenon in shallow layer. predominantly in karst mountain area, or piedmont tectonic belt. In this paper, we discover the actual the actual propagation path of multiple reflected refractions, and discuss the characteristics of multiple reflected refractions by math formula derivation, including the kinematic and dynamic issues. The results show that the study of multiple reflected refractions is of great significance to understand seismic refractions.multiple reflected refractions, propagation path, kinematic and dynamic characteristics
