Geophysics is the scientific study of the physical properties and processes of the Earth and its surrounding space environment. Using principles from physics, mathematics, and geology, geophysicists investigate phenomena such as earthquakes, magnetic and gravitational fields, plate tectonics, and the Earth’s internal structure. Tools like seismic waves, satellite data, and ground-based sensors help scientists probe deep beneath the surface and monitor changes over time. Geophysics plays a critical role in natural hazard prediction, resource exploration, climate studies, and understanding the dynamic systems that shape our planet from the core to the crust.
