Seismology is the study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth. It involves the detection, analysis, and interpretation of seismic waves to understand Earth’s internal structure, processes, and hazards. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Seismic Waves: These are vibrations that travel through the Earth, generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or human-made … Read more
Geophysics is the study of the Earth using quantitative physical methods. It involves applying the principles of physics to understand the Earth’s structure, composition, and processes. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Utilizes physics principles: Gravity, magnetism, seismology, and electromagnetism are core to geophysical investigations. Explores Earth’s interior: Geophysics helps us understand the Earth’s layers, from … Read more
