How “thunderquakes” could help reveal hidden structures inside the Earth

So, scientists have discovered that the thunder we hear from lightning can actually create seismic waves, which they call 'thunderquakes.' These waves can help map the underground structures, similar to how X-rays work for our bodies. Using fiber-optic cables, researchers turned them into thousands of vibration sensors to capture these waves. This innovative approach could revolutionize how we monitor subsurface conditions without any drilling involved.
