Geophysics

Definition of Geophysics as it relates to Science, Physics, Fluid Mechanics

Geophysics concerns the study of the Earth's physical properties and processes, making it an extension of Fluid Mechanics into the planetary context. It encompasses phenomena such as tectonic activity, seismic waves, geomagnetism, and the Earth's internal structure. Geophysics often involves applying mathematical models to understand these complex systems, thus its strong relationship with Physics and Science.
