Deep Seismic Reflection Profiling

Deep seismic reflection profiling is a technique used to study the Earth's interior by sending sound waves into the ground. When these waves hit different underground layers, they bounce back to the surface. Sensitive instruments record these echoes, creating detailed images of subsurface structures. This method helps geologists understand the Earth's makeup, locate underground resources, and examine fault lines and tectonic features. It’s like taking an ultrasound of the Earth's interior, providing valuable insights into areas that are otherwise hidden beneath the surface.
