We shall further analyse the peculiarities of the space distribution of the dynamic
pressure amplitude for various shapes of the relief of the ocean bottom and condi-
tions for wave generation. We define the amplitude dynamic pressure in accordance
with formula

is the moment of time, when the acoustic and gravitational waves have
already had time to leave the point considered.
The influence the ocean bottom slope in the source area has on the space dis-
tribution of the dynamic pressure amplitude is illustrated by Fig. 3.12 (see colour
