Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalogue of Destructive Earthquakes, A. D. 7 to A. D. 1899 Although much time has been expended on the analyses of these catalogues it is not surprising to find that the outcome has been more suggestive than definitive, and but little has been learned. The present Catalogue is an attempt to give a list of earthquakes which have announced changes of geological im portance in the earth's crust; movements which have probably resulted in the creation or extension of a line of fault, the vibrations accompanying which could, with preper instruments, have been recorded over a continent or the whole surface of our world. Small earthquakes have been excluded, while the number of large earthquakes both for ancient and modern times has been extended. As an illustration of exclusion, 1 may mention that between 1800 and 1808, which are years taken at random, I find in Mallet's catalogue 407 entries. Only 87 of these, which were accompanied by structural damage, have been retained. Other catalogues such as those of Perrey and Fuchs have been treated similarly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes Several causes have been adduced which contribute or may contribute to the production of earthquakes. In investigations one is sometimes led to the discovery of widely different phenomena, which, however, synchronize with. Each other, thereby raising the question whether one is dependent upon the other, or whether both phenomena depend upon a common cause. Such a case is the possibility of a connection between latitude variations and earthquakes. On this point Professor Omori, one of the foremost of seismologists, says: From an examination of the mean monthly values of the latitude of Tokio, I have found that. All the destructive earthquakes of recent years in Japan occurred exactly or very nearly when the latitude was at a maximum or minimum.

Download or read book Disasters and History written by Bas van Bavel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters and History offers the first comprehensive historical overview of hazards and disasters. Drawing on a range of case studies, including the Black Death, the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and the Fukushima disaster, the authors examine how societies dealt with shocks and hazards and their potentially disastrous outcomes. They reveal the ways in which the consequences and outcomes of these disasters varied widely not only between societies but also within the same societies according to social groups, ethnicity and gender. They also demonstrate how studying past disasters, including earthquakes, droughts, floods and epidemics, can provide a lens through which to understand the social, economic and political functioning of past societies and reveal features of a society which may otherwise remain hidden from view. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
