Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seismic surveying is the process of sending sound waves into the ground to reflect off of rock layers and identify pockets of fossil fuels. Dynamite surveying is a type of seismic surveying but uses explosive charges instead of sound waves. Sonar surveying is used in water to detect objects or features below the surface and is not typically used for fossil fuel exploration. Geologic surveying involves the study and mapping of rock formations on the surface and does not involve sending sound waves into the ground.
