Аннотация:We have analyzed here a publication of Polom et al. (2018) on shear wave velocity reflection study in the Ghor Al-Haditha area (Jordan) that did not detect buried salt layer suggested earlier by other researchers. Why the modern seismic reflection method based on the S-wave technique did not detect reflections from the salt layer in the study area? The mainreason is that about ~80% of reflection lines were carried outside the salt area delineated by Ezersky et al. (2013b) based on the results of El-Isa et al. (1995). Another possible factor is too strong filtering of seismic data obtained from the upper part of the section (up to 50 m deep). Our and Polom (2018) assessment of the work of other authors diverges. We affirm that the salt layer of 7-10 m thickness is located at ~40 m depth in the Ghor Al-Haditha area.
