What is it about?
Geophysics velocity is important to calculate the depth of different layers in the earth subsurface. This article explain why the seismic velocity changes in different rock formation due to the changing of pressure in earth crust.

Why is it important?
It is important for estimating the actual depth of oil traps by converting seismic time to depth.
Perspectives
Minor time - depth corrections should applied sometimes from offset wells.
