A PRESENTATION ON

GEOPHYSICAL
INVESTIGATION MEATHODS
AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN
CIVIL ENGINEERING
INTRODUCTION:-
Geophysics is the application of the principles of
physics to the study of the earth
The earth consists of a different minerals that
are having different physical properties
Geophysical Instruments are designed to map
spatial variations in the physical properties of the
earth
Exploration in geo physics is an applied branch of
geophysics , which uses physical methods at the surface of
the earth to measure the physical properties of the
subsurface of the earth
The science of geo physics applies the principles of
physics to the study of the earth. Geophysical
investigations of the interior of the earth involve taking
measurements at or near the earth surface that are
influenced by internal distribution of physical properties.
Analysis of these measurements can reveal how the
physical properties of the earths interior vary vertically and
laterally
Geophysical meathods are Investigative techniques
that directly measure the presence of Resources or
materials Behavior concealed with in the earths
subsurface as a result of geologic processes or human
disturbances.
The methods describe the techniques used to
collect subsurface information related to the physical
properties of earth material. The techniques are useful
in the following areas :
• To detect subsurface contrasts, including mass density
relationships, ionic or electrical potentials, magnetic
susceptibilities, and elemental deccay.
• To identify the location of archeological
resources and lead to their identification
• To investigate burried prehistoric and historic
structures and articrafts
