What is the main limitation of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)?
A. Poor resolution
B. Not effective in dry sand
C. High cost
D. Ineffective in conductive soils
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
GPR struggles in highly conductive soils like clays due to rapid signal attenuation.It performs best in dry, sandy, or resistive environments.Related Questions on Geophysical Methods in Engineering
