A process for generating a surface slice for use in understanding or comprehending the inter- nal structure of a multi-dimensional dta volume and specifically a three-dimensional seismic data volume. The surface slice is a local N-1 dimension- al representation of the internal structure of N di- mensional data, where N represents the original di- mension of the data volume. Information from the Nth-dimension is preserved in the N-1 dimensional surface slices. An arbitrary surface intersecting sur- faces through the date volume is selected. A var- iant, an identifiable attribute of data which forms the surfaces of finite extent throughout the data vo- lume, is also selected and isolated to identify the surface. Variants can include, but are not limited to, peaks, troughs, local peaks, local troughs, plus- to-minus zero crossings, and minus-to-plus zero crossings. Isolated variants from the arbitrary sur- face are combined onto the arbitrary surface with isolated variants surrounding the arbitrary surface to create the surface slice. Isolated variants identifi- ed by their position in the data volume generate a time surface slice. Both quantitative and qualitative information on the local strike, local dip direction and dip magnitude of the intersecting surface are present. Isolated variants identified in any other manner generate an amplitude surface slice presenting both quantitative and qualitative information on the local strike and dip magnitude of the intersecting surface.
