Geophysics & Environmental Physics

Hydrologic Cycle

The continuous global movement and transformation of water through Earth's atmosphere, land surface, oceans, and subsurface aquifers.

Water Balance: P = E + R + ΔS (Precipitation = Evaporation + Runoff + Storage Change) Global Water Flux (km³/year)
Geophysics & Environmental Physics

Hydrothermal Vents

Fissures on the ocean floor near volcanically active mid-ocean ridges that vent geothermally heated, mineral-rich seawater into the ocean.

Geothermally Heated Seawater T ~ 350–400 °C °C (Vent Fluid Temperature)
Quantum & Atomic Physics

Hyperfine Structure

Extremely small energy level splittings in atoms caused by interaction between nuclear magnetic moments and electron magnetic fields.

ΔE_HFS ∝ I_nucleus · J_electron eV or MHz (Small Energy Splitting)
Foundations of Physics

Hypothesis

A proposed, testable explanation for an observed physical phenomenon, serving as the starting point for experimental investigation.
