Geophysics is a branch of Earth science that applies principles of physics to study the Earth and its surrounding environment.
It involves the use of quantitative methods, instrumentation, and mathematical models to investigate the physical properties and processes of the Earth's interior, surface, oceans, atmosphere, and near-space environment.
