This book was released on 2006-06-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lay reader's introduction to the most spectacular and devastating of all geological events, Rolf Schick describes how earthquakes and volcanoes are related, and how they are an integral part of Earth's structure. Tracing the latest findings and theories in plate tectonics, he helps readers ask and answer the basic questions: What was it during the formation of Earth that led to these phenomena? Why do they occur in certain areas and not in others? How can we, within reason, protect ourselves from their devastation? And how far have we come, and how far can we go, in predicting when they will strike? For the reader who wants a concise and accessible guide to what makes the ground shake and explode, this is the perfect introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concise and engaging visual guide to Earth's most devastating natural forces: earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate tectonics One in 20 people in the world live within range of an active volcano. On average, Magnitude 2 and smaller earthquakes occur several hundred times a day worldwide. Volcanoes and Earthquakes explores the massive natural forces from within the Earth that greatly affect its surface, often with dramatic and long-lasting consequences. Written in an accessible style, and fully illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps, the book explains the violence of earthquakes and volcanoes that impact humankind, and the gradual continental drift and mountain building that have transformed the Earth over the 4.5 billion years of its existence. It details the processes that have and continue to form, destroy, and move the Earth's surface. The authors describe how the Earth formed, from the beginnings of the solar system to the growth of the continents as they are today, and delve deep into the Earth's core to explore what drives the plates and feeds volcanoes. The last chapter examines the changes in the tectonic processes that link the Earth's mass, water, atmosphere, and life, including the effects on climate, sea-level, and the distribution of plant and animal species. Volcanoes and Earthquakes is a powerful reminder of the impact of natural forces on our everyday lives.

Download or read book A Dangerous Planet written by Dr Peter T Scott and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dangerous PlanetByDr. Peter T ScottThis book explains that the Earth has a very thin crust which is in constant motion. The forces of this motion causes fractures and folds in solid rock and also volcanoes and earthquakes in many parts of the world. The nature of rock and how it responds to Earth forces is explained as an introduction to volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanoes and earthquakes are formed by interaction of the plates of the Earth's crust or the re-heating of parts of plates from below. The different types of volcanoes are explained and well-illustrated with many photographs, illustrations and several Video Excursions to some of the Worlds active volcanic areas. The cause, nature and detection of earthquakes are discussed and how the scientific study of earthquakes, seismology, has given us an understanding of the size and shape of the Earth as a planet is explained. Personal emergency responses to volcanic eruption and earthquakes are also given for those who live in, or may visit hazardous places of this dangerous planet.
