primary reflections are flatter

multiples are not flat

stack add the traces in each final NMO-corrected gather to get a single trace plot together to simulate a common-offset section at offset=zero => reflection section stacking attenuates random noise assuming similar signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), improvement in S/N is roughly N , where N is the number of traces stacked stacking attenuates coherent noise that are not horizontal in the NMO-corrected gather multiples, ground roll, etc.
