Geophysics
Geophysics is a discipline that uses different areas of knowledge, such as physics, mathematics, and geology to study the internal constitution and history of the Earth. One of the applications of Geophysics is in oil exploration.
Seismic exploration:
The purpose of seismic exploration is to create an image of the subsurface and to estimate the distribution of a range of properties - in particular, the fluid or gas content. The exploration industry is very successful in this, and seismic data is key. Consequently, most research in ESR concerns exploration seismology. https://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/seismic/acq-proc/
Seismic exploration is analogous and is based on the same physical principles of an ultrasound Echo Sonogram. So the same way as we use sound waves to generate an image of the internal structures of the body, we can use seismic waves to obtain an image of the subsurface (the internal structure of the earth).
