Information About

Geophysics

The field of geophysics includes the branches of:

Seismology ( Earthquake s and elastic Wave s)

Gravity and Geodesy (the Earth's gravitational field and the size and form of the earth)

Atmospheric Science , which includes:

Atmospheric Electricity and Terrestrial Magnetism (including Ionosphere , Van Allen Belts , Telluric Current s, Radiant Energy , etc.)

Meteorology and Climatology , which both involve studies of the weather.

Aeronomy , the study of the physical structure and chemistry of the atmosphere.

Geothermometry (heating of the Earth, heat flow, Volcano logy, and hot springs)

Hydrology (ground and surface water, sometimes including Glaciology )

Physical Oceanography

Tectonophysics (geological processes in the Earth)

Geodynamics (numerical study of the inner Earth)
