Definition of geophysics in English:
geophysics
plural noun ˌdʒiːə(ʊ)ˈfɪzɪksˌdʒioʊˈfɪzɪks
treated as singular The physics of the earth.
Example sentencesExamples

- Potential drilling sites are located using 3D seismic data and a deep understanding of geology and geophysics.
- The extremely deep investigations of Tikhonov into a number of general problems in mathematical physics grew out of his interest in geophysics and electrodynamics.
- By 1960, a discrete version of these equations was being extensively used in electrical engineering and geophysics, their use continuing until the present day.
- The paper cited here uses a combination of computational biology and geophysics to attack the problem.
