    Answer: The seismic waves are useful for the oil and gas exploration beneath the earth crust.

    Explanation:

    The seismic waves are sent beneath the earth crust to determine the location of fossil fuels like petrol, and natural gas. These seismic waves bound back and their pattern of reflection and refraction is recorded by using a receiver that is a geophone or can be a hydrophone (in water). The seismic waves bounce back indicating towards the reservoir of fossil fuel exhibit a characteristic pattern that can help in tracing the location of the fossil fuel.
