Image for 2D seismic

2D seismic

2D seismic is a technique used by geologists and engineers to create a cross-sectional image of the Earth's subsurface. It involves generating sound waves on the surface using specialized equipment. These waves travel through the ground and bounce back when they hit different underground materials, such as rocks or oil reservoirs. Sensors record these reflected waves, and data processing creates a 2D image showing the layers and structures beneath the surface. This helps in identifying potential locations for oil, gas, or minerals, and in understanding geological features without extensive drilling.
