Seismic reflection surveying

Seismic reflection surveying is a technique used to explore beneath the Earth's surface by sending sound waves into the ground. When these waves encounter different underground layers with varying properties, some of the waves bounce back to the surface. Sensors record these reflected signals, and scientists analyze the data to create detailed images of underground structures. This method helps geologists and engineers identify natural resources like oil, gas, and minerals, as well as understand geological features and assess risks like earthquakes, all without drilling or digging.
