ANSWER KEY

1. Geophysical Investigations
2. [] Geophysical methods are gaining importance very rapidly because of their success in
solving a vast variety ofproblems.
[]These investigations are carried out quickly. This means large area can be investigated in a reasonable
short period and hence time is saved.
[]The geophysical instruments used in the field are simple, portable and can be operated
easily. This means fieldwork is not laborious.
[]Since the work is carried out quickly and only physical observations are made. Without
the use of consumables (like Chemicals), it is economical too.
3. [] Investigations aimed in solving problems of regional geology.
[] Investigations aimed at locating and estimating economically important mineral
deposits.
[] Investigations aimed at locating and assessing groundwater potential and its quality
[] Investigations aimed at solving problems connected with geology
