Abstract
The simple conditions of world structure assumed throughout the centuries could not be maintained against modern research, such as the invariable position of the Earth’s axis and the invariable period of Earth’s rotation. Since the international geophysical year 1957–1958 (IGY), the physical Earth deals with any of the geoscience branches, such as astronomy, geochemistry, geodesy, geology, geophysics, hydrography, meteorology, mineral exploration and exploitation, oceanography, plate tectonics, and physical geography.
