The aim of the course:
The objective of the course is to improve the students reading and understanding geophysical articles, to help the students to improve their skills in order to prepare a special topic in geophysics. In order to the student's better understanding Geophysical science, some selected elemantal topics on basic sciences, engineering sciences and earh science are introduced, and investigated. The related technical terms are learned, Help the students in understanding grammer rules and increasing technical vocabulary.
