Seismic wave propagation is intrinsically a process in time and space. Although seismometers make point measurements only, dense, large‐aperture seismic networks allow the full observation and analysis of wave propagation. We present a new visual representation of teleseismic phases by combining time‐dependent ground‐motion visualizations with array analyses to connect the time‐domain motion with phase information retrieved from the frequency–wavenumber (⁠f‐k⁠) domain. This serves as an educational tool, but also for efficient identification of off‐angle arrivals, dispersion, and anomalous seismic phases. The processing is applied to events with Mw≥7 observed at the AlpArray Seismic Network in Europe and two example teleseismic events are discussed in detail.
