    This document describes seismic exploration tools and methods used to map underground rock formations. A vibrator truck acts as an energy source, sending sound waves into the ground that return echoes from rock layers. Geophones placed on the surface receive the returning sound waves and record the data, which is then analyzed to create images of the subsurface geology and locate potential oil and gas deposits based on differences in rock properties.
