geophysically
Regarding planetary structure
Geophysically is an adverb describing something done in relation to the physics of the Earth—its structure, composition, and the forces acting upon and within it.
Scientists study regions geophysically to understand phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, magnetic fields, and tectonic movement.
The area is geophysically active, with frequent seismic events.
The term appears most often in scientific and technical contexts discussing Earth's physical properties and processes.
