Seismic surveying is a geophysical method that uses the principles of seismology to infer the properties of the Earth's interior. For underwater exploration, shock waves are produced, and their reflection and refraction patterns from subsurface geological structures are detected by hydrophones. The analysis of these "echoes of shock" allows geophysicists to map out potential oil and gas reservoirs.
