Geological Coring

Geological coring is a process where scientists use specialized tools called core drills to extract cylindrical samples of underground rock and sediment. These cores reveal the Earth's subsurface layers, helping geologists study the composition, structure, and history of the area. The cores are valuable for understanding natural resources, such as oil, minerals, and groundwater, as well as assessing earthquake risks or environmental conditions. The technique allows for detailed analysis without extensive excavation, providing a window into the Earth's past and ongoing geological processes.
