As the seismic (P or compression) waves stress earth materials, four geophysical phenomenon occur:
A second hypothesis is that the lights are the result of known geophysical phenomena, such as piezoelectrics.
Volcanology - study of volcanoes, lava, magma, and related geological, geophysical and geochemical phenomena.
However, many geophysical phenomena - such as the Earth's magnetic field and earthquakes - have been investigated since the ancient era.
Of all geophysical phenomena, those that most attract public interest are earthquakes and the earth's magnetism.
The Ekman number is a dimensionless number used in describing geophysical phenomena in the oceans and atmosphere.
Some of the charged particles traveling along the Earth's magnetic field lines cause auroras and other geophysical phenomena in the conjugate areas.
In the 1980's and 1990's the continued development of remote sensing instruments aided in the detection and analysis of various geophysical phenomena.
The CES undertakes research scientific studies in the development of expertise in anomalous geophysical phenomenon prior to the seismic activities.
An island wake is a geophysical phenomenon which results from the interaction between the island topography and the incoming atmospheric and oceanic flows.
