<p>Electrical conductivity is a parameter which characterizes composition and physical state of the Earth's interior. Studies of the state equations of solids at high temperature and pressure indicate that there is a close relation beΒ tween the electrical conductivity of rocks and temperature. Ther
<p>Deep seismiC sounding was proposed by G. A. Gamburtsev and developed under his guidΒ ance during the period 1948-1955 at the Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
