What is the Role of Geophysics in Understanding Earth's Processes?

In summary, geophysics plays a crucial role in understanding Earth's processes by using physical principles and techniques to study the structure, composition, and dynamics of the planet. It helps scientists to better understand phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, plate tectonics, and the Earth's magnetic field. By studying seismic waves, gravity, magnetism, and other geophysical data, researchers gain insights into the Earth's interior and its various processes, which can inform our understanding of natural hazards, resource exploration, and climate change. Overall, geophysics is a key tool for unraveling the mysteries of our planet and advancing our knowledge of its past, present, and future.
