What is Geophysics?, not many people know about this major, that's why I am as Geophysics student made this blog to promote about anything that relates to Geophysics
From wikipedia Geophysics is a subject of natural science concerned with the physical processes and physical properties of the Earth and its surrounding space environment, and the use of quantitative methods for their analysis. The term geophysics sometimes refers only to the geological applications: Earth's shape; its gravitational and magnetic fields; its internal structure and composition; its dynamics and their surface expression in plate tectonics, the generation of magmas, volcanism and rock formation. However, modern geophysics organizations use a broader definition that includes the water cycle including snow and ice; fluid dynamics of the oceans and the atmosphere; electricity and magnetism in the ionosphere and magnetosphere and solar-terrestrial relations; and analogous problems associated with the Moon and other planets.
From Merriam-Webster dictionary Geophysics is a branch of earth science dealing with the physical processes and phenomena occurring especially in the earth and in its vicinity.
But don't you ever wonder why does goephysics exist?
The historical development of geophysics has been motivated by two factors. One of these is the research curiosity of humankind related to Planet Earth and its several components, its events and its problems. The second one is economical usage of Earth resources (ore deposits, petroleum, water resources, etc.) and Earth-related hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, tides, and floods.
That's got from wikipedia, Geophysics does exist because of curiosity of the Earth and for Economic factors.
in mining industries Geophysics is often used in exploration sectors, such as finding oil, gas, ore, copper, gold and anything else that beneath of the earth. to look at beneath of the Earth geophysics has several methods.
