...A branch of earth science that studies the earth using physical methods. It is divided into two major branches: geodesy, seismology, volcanology, geomagnetism, etc., which deal with the earth as a solid (lithosphere), and oceanography, meteorology, limnology, upper atmosphere physics, etc., which deal with the earth's surface or nearby hydrosphere and atmosphere. Geodesy discusses the shape, size, and internal structure of the earth based on the results of geodetic observations, and also discusses crustal movements. Seismology detects seismic activity through seismic measurements, and uses the results to clarify the seismic activity of various regions on earth. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Mohorovičiĉ, A." is listed below.

…地球を物理学的方法によって研究する地球科学の一分野。固体としての地球(岩石圏)を取り扱う測地学,地震学,火山学,地磁気学などと,地球表面あるいは近傍の水圏および気圏を取り扱う海洋学,気象学,陸水学,超高層物理学などの2大分野に大別される。測地学は地球の形,大きさ,内部構造などを測地観測の結果をもとに議論し,また地殻の変動を議論する。地震学は地震計測によって地震活動を検出し,その結果を用いて地球上各地域の地震活動度を解明する。… ※「Mohorovičiĉ,A.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
