The project used 20-tonne trucks, called vibroseis trucks and nicknamed "dancing elephants," that forced seismic waves beneath the Earth to generate geological and historical data, allowing researchers to glean information from at least 80 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface.
A research initiative utilized 20-tonne trucks dubbed vibroseis trucks, affectionately known as "dancing elephants," which created seismic waves deep within the Earth to gather geological and historical data. This enabled scientists to extract information from depths of at least 80 kilometers beneath the planet's surface.
