the physics of the earth and its environment, including the physics of fields such as meteorology, oceanography, and seismology - BACK>>
The study of the physics or nature of the Earth and its environment It deals with the composition and physical phenomena of the earth and its liquid and gaseous envelopes Areas of studies include the atmospheric sciences and meteorology, geology, seismology, and volcanology, and oceanography and related marine sciences, such as hydrology By extension, it often includes astronomy and the related astro-sciences
The science dealing with the earth's structure, composition and development including the atmosphere and hydrosphere
The branch of geology that studies the physics of the Earth, using the physical principles underlying such phenomena as seismic waves, heat flow, gravity, and magnetism to investigate planetary properties
A branch of earth science dealing with the physical processes and phenomena occurring in the earth and in its vicinity
The study of the physical characteristics and properties of the earth; including geodesy, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric electricity, terrestrial magnetism, and tidal phenomena
Geophysics is the branch of geology that uses physics to examine the earth's structure, climate, and oceans. the study of the movements of parts of the Earth, and the forces involved with this, including the weather, the oceans etc. Major branch of earth science that applies the principles and methods of physics to the study of the Earth. Geophysics deals with such geologic phenomena as the temperature distribution of the Earth's interior; the source, configuration, and variations of the geomagnetic field; and the large-scale features of the terrestrial crust, such as rifts, continental sutures, and oceanic ridges. Modern geophysical research also examines phenomena of the outer parts of the Earth's atmosphere and even the physical properties of other planets and their satellites. See also marine geophysics
Study of the various physical properties of the earth and the composition and movement of its component layers of rock Geophysics is applied to mining exploration to detect zones characterized by their physical properties such as magnetism, gravity or conductivity (electromagnetism)
science of the physical properties of the earth, its motions and forces and their effects
