Features: This book primarily introduces the basic principles and methods of seismology (natural and artificial earthquakes), gravity, geomagnetism (including paleomagnetism), geoelectricity, and geothermology, as well as their applications in geology and physical exploration. Appendices at the end of the book include physical constants, Earth parameters, unit conversions, field knowledge, properties of the δ(r) function, and solutions to Laplace's equation. This book is suitable for undergraduate students in the geology major taking the "Fundamentals of Geophysics" course, as well as for scientific research and production personnel in the geological and mineral resources and petroleum fields, and also serves as a reference for graduate students outside the geophysics major.
