If you want to do geophysics then you might want to consider majoring in physics. I want to go into geophysics (seismology) as well and I’m currently majoring in physics and minoring in geology (hopefully). I’ve been told many times that it’s easier for a physicist to pick up the relevant geology than for a geologist to pick up the relevant physics/math. You should be fine either way but I think physics → geophysics is best.
