Traditionally, most seismic work fell under the category of 2D imaging. Sources and receivers are placed on a 1D (horizontal) surface line called the x-axis. The time axis is a 1D (vertical) line called the t-axis. Each source would have many traces - one for each receiver position on the x-axis. A plot of traces from a particular source is called a seismic record. In other words, all the traces from a single source make up a seismic record.
