Main Body
Seismic investigation refers to analyzing the earthquakes - their origin, the material, etc.
Contributing in Understanding Earth's Interior
Similar to Deep Sea Mission, Deep Earth Mission is also needed to understand earth's interior which can help in developing Early Warning Systems for earthquakes.
Track energy flow: As earthquakes are result of energy release. Locating Faults, volcanoes etc.: As these are most likely locations of earthquakes. Eg:- Pacific Ring of Fire. Provides shadow regions, epicenters, hypocenters for earthquake waves. Similar to Deep Sea Mission, Deep Earth Mission is also needed to understand earth's interior which can help in developing Early Warning Systems for earthquakes.
Conclusion
Similar to Deep Sea Mission, Deep Earth Mission is also needed to understand earth's interior which can help in developing Early Warning Systems for earthquakes.
