Exploration
Scientists
especially in the geological field have been able to estimate the age
and the history of the earth based on fossils and the radio active age
of various rocks found, and are also able to know where oil and gas can
be found beneath the earth.
It is in the pores of these sedimentary rocks that oil and gas are can be found.
This equipment is useful to drill small holes in the ground up to 200 feet deep to put explosives to be exploded to find out whether oil and gas traps are present beneath.
