geophysics

Geophysics studies Earth's physical properties. It employs methods like seismic surveys and magnetic field analysis. India has significant geological diversity, including the Himalayas and the Deccan Plateau. The Indian Institute of Geomagnetism conducts crucial research. Geophysical techniques aid in resource exploration, including minerals and groundwater. Understanding geophysics is vital for disaster management, especially in earthquake-prone regions like the Himalayas.
