Geophysical research is the study of the Earth’s physical properties and processes. It involves examining aspects such as gravity, magnetism, seismology, and geodesy to understand how the Earth works. Scientists use various tools and techniques to gather data, which helps in predicting natural events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. This field also plays a crucial role in exploring natural resources, such as oil, gas, and minerals. By analyzing the Earth's structure and dynamics, researchers can identify potential sites for resource extraction and assess environmental impacts, contributing to sustainable development and disaster preparedness.
