Geophysical methods



Geophysical methods

Passive:
Method using the natural fields of the Earth, e.g. gravity
and magnetic

Active:
Method that requires the input of artificially generated
energy, e.g. seismic reflection

The objective of geophysics
is to locate or detect the presence of subsurface
structures or bodies and determine their size, shape,
depth, and physical properties (density, velocity,
porosity…) + fluid content
