Geophysics: History, Art & Science

Geophysics (/ˌdʒiːoʊˈfɪzɪks/) is a physical science concerned with the processes and properties of Earth and its surrounding space environment, studied using quantitative and observational methods. It focuses primarily on Earth’s shape and its gravitational, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields. It also studies internal structure, composition, and…
