- Geophysics - Wikipedia
In the 20th century, geophysical methods were developed for remote exploration of the solid Earth and the ocean, and geophysics played an essential role in the development of the theory of plate tectonics Geophysics is pursued for fundamental understanding of the Earth and its space environment
- Geophysical Methods, Exploration Geophysics » Geology Science
Geophysics is a branch of Earth science that utilizes principles and techniques from physics to study the physical properties and processes of the Earth It involves the application of various methods to investigate the subsurface structure, composition, and dynamics
- Geophysical Mapping | U. S. Geological Survey - USGS. gov
Geophysical mapping allows scientists to understand the composition and structures of rock beneath the Earth’s surface
- Seismology, Plate Tectonics Geodynamics - Britannica
Modern geophysical research extends to phenomena of the outer parts of the Earth’s atmosphere (e g , the ionospheric dynamo, auroral electrojets, and magnetopause current system) and even to the physical properties of other planets and their satellites

- What is geophysics? | The British Geophysical Association
Geophysics is the application of physics to study the Earth, oceans, atmosphere and near-Earth space It is a broad subject that encompasses many of the major sciences – physics, astronomy, planetary science, geology, environmental science, oceanography, and meteorology
- GEOPHYSICAL Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
Geophysics applies the principles of physics to the study of the Earth It deals with such things as the movement of the Earth's crust and the temperatures of its interior Another subject is the behavior of the still-mysterious geomagnetic field
