Topics covered: Earth structure; Reference models; Physical properties; Geophysical observations. Elastic waves; Seismic phases; Travel times; Earthquake location. Seismic reflection; Refraction; Tomography; Inversion. Gravity fields; Isostasy; Gravity anomalies; Density models. Geomagnetism; Magnetic minerals; Paleomagnetism; Geodynamo. Heat flow; Conduction; Convection; Thermal evolution. Plate kinematics; Lithospheric flexure; Mantle rheology; Geodynamics. Inverse problems; Resolution; Regularization; Integrated geophysical interpretation. Projects use safe simulations, public datasets or textual analysis; specialist subject review is required. Includes lessons, supplementary YouTube tutorials, practical exercises, quizzes and free/paid practice tests. Erudex is independent, not affiliated with the source institution or awarding body. Its 80% learning checks are not official grades or university credit. Content requires qualified subject review before use as a complete teaching programme.
