Solid geophysics is a branch of research that use physics to study the Earth’s interior and surroundings. The goal of the geophysical study is to understand and explore the inner-earth conundrums (such as its composition of materials and evolutional laws), to discover and understand a variety of internal physical processes, and to develop new theories, new methods and new techniques for the improvement of human living conditions, the prevention and mitigation of disasters, and other purposes. Solid geophysics has evolved rapidly as one of the cornerstones of earth science thanks to the remarkable development of computer technology, computational mathematics, and geophysical observational and experimental methodologies.
