Geophysics (/ ˌ dʒ iː oʊ ˈ f ɪ z ɪ k s /) is a subject of natural science concerned with the physical processes and physical properties of the Earth and its surrounding space environment, and the use of quantitative methods for their analysis.
Mineral physics – science of materials that compose the interior of planets, particularly the Earth. Near-surface geophysics – the use of geophysical methods to investigate small-scale features in the shallow (tens of meters) subsurface. Paleomagnetism – measurement of the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field over the geologic past.
Earth science or geoscience includes all fields of natural science related to the planet Earth. [1] This is a branch of science dealing with the physical, chemical, and biological complex constitutions and synergistic linkages of Earth's four spheres: the biosphere , hydrosphere / cryosphere , atmosphere , and geosphere (or lithosphere ).

Physical science is a branch of natural science that studies non-living ... lava, magma, and related geological, geophysical and geochemical phenomena. General principles
Geophysical engineering is the application of geophysics to the engineering design of facilities including roads, tunnels, wells and mines. Environmental-science and environmental-engineering specialties
Geophysical engineering (applied geophysics) [ edit ] Geophysical engineering is the subdiscipline of geological engineering that applies geophysics principles to the design of engineering projects such as tunnels, dams, and mines or for the detection of subsurface geohazards, groundwater, and pollution.
Computational geophysics is the field of study that uses any type of numerical computations to generate and analyze models of complex geophysical systems. It can be considered an extension, or sub-field, of both computational physics and geophysics .
