Seismic exploration

Seismic exploration is a technique used to map underground geological formations by sending sound waves into the Earth. When these waves encounter different rock layers, they bounce back to the surface and are captured by sensors. By analyzing the returning signals, geologists can create detailed images of subsurface structures, which helps in identifying potential locations for oil and gas extraction or understanding geological features. This method is essential for exploring beneath the Earth's surface without the need for extensive drilling, providing a safe and effective way to study subsurface geology.
