Geophysics to every area of the Earth sciences. To provide a clearer idea of what constitutes geophysics, this section describes phenomena that are studied in physics and how they relate to the Earth and its surroundings. The gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun give rise to two high tides and two low tides every lunar day, or every 24 hours and 50 minutes. Therefore, there is a gap of 12 hours and 25 minutes between every high tide and between every low tide. Gravitational forces make rocks press down on deeper rocks, increasing their density as the depth increases. Measurements
Partial/total eclipses on the Moon on Earth as a partial lunar eclipse, unlike the Earth where a total eclipse only occurs in a small spot while the remainder of a solar eclipse are total, on the Moon, a part is shown as partial and a part is shown is total as the center of the Earth's shadow's coverage totality is more larger than the Moon on Earth. In some eclipses, about 15-20% of a surface of the moon covered by the center of the Earth's shadow sees totality where the Earth eclipses the sun, some eclipses has about 75-80% of the surface covered by the
