Geoelectromagnetism

Geoelectromagnetism is the study of the Earth's electric and magnetic fields and how they interact with geological materials. In geophysics, this field helps us understand processes like the movement of fluids in the Earth's crust, mineral exploration, and the behavior of tectonic plates. By measuring variations in electric and magnetic fields, scientists can map subsurface structures, locate valuable resources, and monitor natural phenomena like earthquakes. This multidisciplinary approach combines physics, geology, and environmental science, contributing to our knowledge of the Earth's properties and processes.
