Geophysics is the scientific study of the Earth using principles of physics. It involves the examination of the Earth’s shape, structure, and composition, as well as its gravitational and magnetic fields. Geophysicists use techniques such as seismic wave analysis, electromagnetic surveys, and satellite data to understand phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the Earth’s interior processes. The field plays a crucial role in natural resource exploration, environmental protection, and understanding natural hazards.
