ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Geophysical Tomography Group (The)

Have you ever played a game of hide and seek? If you have, then you know that it can be tricky to find a hidden object or person. Imagine that you are trying to find something hidden deep beneath the ground, like a treasure or a pipeline. It’s not easy, is it?

Well, the geophysical tomography group has made it their mission to find things that are hidden deep beneath the ground. They use a special technique called geophysical tomography to do this.

Geophysical tomography is like taking an X-ray of the ground. Just like how a doctor takes an X-ray to see what’s going on inside your body, the geophysical tomography group takes an X-ray of the earth to see what’s happening underground.

But how do they do this? They use special equipment like sensors, cables and computers to send energy waves into the ground. These waves bounce off the different layers of soil, rocks and other objects underground before returning back to the surface.

The sensors then pick up these returning waves and send them to the computers. The computers then use fancy software to create a 3D image of the ground showing the different layers and objects underground.

This technology is very useful for many different industries, like mining, oil and gas exploration, and construction. It can help them find resources and plan where to build things.

So, if you ever need to find something buried underground, you know who to call – the geophysical tomography group!
