Geophysics

Meteorologists are people who know a tremendous amount about geophysics, thermodynamics and climatology, and almost nothing about tomorrow's weather.

Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology reported a “high intensity” explosion Monday at the Stromboli volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located off the southern coast of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea.

The terms are used in geology, paleontology, geophysics, astronomy and physical cosmology.

The Indonesia Meteorology and Geophysics Agency issued a tsunami warning following the quake, but lifted it two hours later.
