Vibrations from an exploding charge in the sea are used to locate oil deposits; prospecting offshore is more difficult than on land.

petroleum trap blasting charge seismographic recording shock wave

petroleum trap click to hear

Assemblage of porous rocks that contain recoverable oil reserves, which are produced from marine or land deposits.

blasting charge click to hear

Quantity of explosives (substances capable of discharging high-temperature gases over a very short time period) that produce shock waves when detonated.

seismographic recording click to hear

A recording made using an apparatus called a seismograph; the analysis of its shock wave echoes detects the presence of rock layers that might contain pockets of petroleum or gas.

shock wave click to hear

The shock wave spreads and sends back an echo, which varies with the density and depth of the layers of subsoil; with this information, the composition of the subsoil can be determined.

move disc n from A to C
move n−1 discs from B to C so they sit on disc n

The fields, in order from left to right, are:[2]

The first field is the user name, i.e. the string a user would type in when logging into the operating system: the logname. Each record in the file must have a unique user name field.
The second field stores information used to validate a user’s password; however in most modern uses this field is usually set to “x” (or some other indicator) with the actual password information being stored in a separate shadow password file. Setting this field to an asterisk “*” is the typical way to deactivate an account to prevent it being used.
The third field is the user identifier, the number that the operating system uses for internal purposes. It does not have to be unique.
The fourth field is the group identifier. This number identifies the primary group of the user; all files that are created by this user may initially be accessible to this group.
The fifth field, called the Gecos field, is commentary that describes the person or account. Typically, this is a set of comma-separated values including the user’s full name and contact details.
The sixth field is the path to the user’s home directory.
The seventh field is the program that is started every time the user logs into the system. For an interactive user, this is usually one of the system’s command line interpreters (shells).
