... Unlike solar, wind or tidal energy, geothermal energy can operate round the clock. This source of energy is free and renewable. Geothermal plants produce almost no emissions because they do not burn fuel to generate electricity. Its operating costs are also quite low. Another advantage is that geoth ...

Earthquakes 4 Using Quakes1 Earth Structure
... Using Seismograms With improved seismographs, we are able to see p and s-waves bouncing off the inside of the Earth! These are called ss or pp-waves when they have reflected once. (ppp-waves for three reflections.) In the shadow-zone, there are no direct p or swaves, but there are pp, ss, ppp, and ...

Magnetotellurics
Magnetotellurics (MT) is an electromagnetic geophysical method for inferring the earth's subsurface electrical conductivity from measurements of natural geomagnetic and geoelectric field variation at the Earth's surface. Investigation depth ranges from 300m below ground by recording higher frequencies down to 10,000m or deeper with long-period soundings. Developed in the USSR and France during the 1950s, MT is now an international academic discipline and is used in exploration surveys around the world. Commercial uses include hydrocarbon (oil and gas) exploration, geothermal exploration, mining exploration, as well as hydrocarbon and groundwater monitoring. Research applications include experimentation to further develop the MT technique, long-period deep crustal exploration, and earthquake precursor prediction research.
