For example : keeping seismic signals below the level of background Earth noise; simulating earthquake waveforms by detonating multiple explosions appropriately distributed in time and space; hiding the signals from a clandestine explosion in the signals of an earthquake; selecting a site so that the signal will pass through an absorbent region of the Earth's crust(dry or porous material) ;partial or complete "decoupling" of the explosion from its immediate solid surroundings, by detonating the device in a large artificial cavern or cavity, thus reducing the signals from the clandestine explosion. 1, record 1, English, - evasion%20technique

The degree of dampening of the seismic energy of an explosion transmitted to the surrounding rocks in the case of cavity decoupling; e. g. a decoupling factor of 100 means that a fully decoupled 10 kt explosion would generate seismic signals about 100 times smaller than the same explosion close-coupled in hard rock, leading to a(erroneous) yield estimate of only 100 tons(SIPRI 88, p. 165, p. 211). 1, record 3, English, - decoupling%20factor
