Seismic Reflection

Seismic reflection is a technique used to explore what's beneath the Earth's surface by sending sound waves into the ground. When these waves hit different underground layers, some are reflected back to the surface and captured by sensors. By analyzing the time it takes for reflections to return and their strengths, scientists can create detailed images of subsurface structures, like rock formations or oil reservoirs. This method helps geologists and engineers understand underground geology safely and non-invasively, aiding in resource exploration and studying earth processes.
