Subsurface

Subsurface refers to the layers of soil, rock, and minerals lying beneath the Earth's surface. It is the part of the Earth's interior that isn't visible from the surface and includes features like underground water, oil, natural gas, and mineral deposits. Understanding the subsurface is important for activities like construction, groundwater management, and resource extraction. Technologies such as seismic surveys, boreholes, and geophysical methods are used to explore and analyze these hidden layers, helping us make informed decisions about land use, environmental protection, and resource development.
