Geophysical sciences

Geophysical sciences study Earth's physical properties and processes, including how the planet's interior, atmosphere, oceans, and surface behave and interact. This field combines physics, geology, and other sciences to understand phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, climate change, and Earth's magnetic field. By examining data from satellites, seismometers, and other tools, geophysicists uncover how Earth's systems work and how they influence the environment and life. Essentially, it’s about understanding the physical dynamics of our planet to better predict natural events and address environmental challenges.
