Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements To a. Geologist there are perhaps no phenomena in nature more interesting than earthquakes, the study of which is called Seismology. Coming, as shocks often will, from a region of volcanoes, the study of these disturbances may enable us to understand something about the nature and working of a volcano. As an earthquake-wave travels along from strata to strata, if we study its reflections and changing velocity in transit, we may often be led to the discovery of certain rocky structures buried deep beneath our View, about which, without the help of such waves, it would be hopeless ever to attain any knowledge. By studying the propagation of earthquake-waves the physicist is enabled to confirm his speculations respecting the transmission of disturbances in elastic media. For the physicist earthquakes are gigantic experiments which tell him the elastic moduli Of rocks as they exist in nature, and when properly interpreted may lead him to the proper comprehension of many ill-understood pheno mena. It is not impossible that seismological investiga tion may teach us something about the earth's magnetism, and the connection between earthquakes and the earth currents which appear in our telegraph wires. These and numerous other kindred problems fall within the domain of the physicist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: Their Origin and Phenomena The above caption, will doubtless be received by many with surprise and incredulity, yet it will be remembered that nearly every great physicist, who has touched upon the subject of late years has suggested that the earth is made up of the debris of comets and meteors. Mr. Russell, a late writer upon lakes, assigns as their origin, earthquakes and meteors. Here the writer has advanced one long step' further and shows you that earthquakes are caused by meteors, and any reader who wishes to inform' himself, may by means of what is given here with assure himself of such fact. It is not the purpose of the writer to demonstrate matters fully herein, as the reader may do that, but to inform those residing on earthquake belts of the true cause of the pheno mena, to describe and explain it briefly, in order that more careful observations may be made of phenomena as it has been presented in the past or may be noted in the future. Through ignorance of such origin, there is no account of any earthquake, that does not leave much further information to be desired and far more watchful, accurate and intelligent observations.

Download or read book On the Temperature Secular Cooling and Contraction of the Earth and on the Theory of Earthquakes Held by the Ancients Classic Reprint written by Thomas Jefferson Jackson See and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Temperature, Secular Cooling and Contraction of the Earth, and on the Theory of Earthquakes Held by the Ancients It is much more likely that the agglomeration went on with moderate rapidity, so that the primitive globe in formation cooled about as rapidly as a condensing mass of monatomic gas would do under like conditions. Such a gaseous globe retains a little over one half of the heat of condensation. There are many indications that the sun is such a gaseous globe, and the constitution of Jupiter and Saturn probably is more or less similar. It seems likely that in the formation of the earth the meteorites and finer planetary dust came together at such a rate that the whole new planet thus consti tuted was made to glow with maximum temperature at the centre, as in the case of a sphere of monatomic gas in a state of equilibrium under its own gravitation. Then as the planet grew in mass by the addition of other meteoritic materials, the pressure augmented also, and eventually became so great as to prevent circulation of convec tion currents. At length the surface gradually cooled by radiation, grew dense and solid, and thus finally arose the encrusted earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes Yet earthquakes are neither novel nor mysterious, but are among the most common and simplest of terrestrial phenomena; they have certainly recurred at frequent intervals throughout all geo logical time of which we have any record, and it is probable that now, not an hour, perhaps not a minute, passes, but more or less violent vibrations take place somewhere on the earth's surface. In later years, earthquakes have been carefully studied in many countries by geologists and physicists, and the conclusions reached have been so generally harmonious that there is now very little difference of opinion as to their cause, and the manner in which this cause operates.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: An Introduction to Seismic Geology If the best results are to be obtained, it is essential that the physicist and his brother, the geologist, should be brought into a closer association than has yet characterized the recent study of earthquakes. The establishment of earthquake stations at universities where seismology is taught as a part of geology may be expected to do much to this end.

Download or read book An Introduction to Seismology Earthquakes and Earth Structure written by Seth Stein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes and Earth Structures is an introduction to seismology and its role in the earth sciences, and is written for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The fundamentals of seismic wave propagation are developed using a physical approach and then applied to show how refraction, reflection, and teleseismic techniques are used to study the structure and thus the composition and evolution of the earth. The book shows how seismic waves are used to study earthquakes and are integrated with other data to investigate the plate tectonic processes that cause earthquakes. Figures, examples, problems, and computer exercises teach students about seismology in a creative and intuitive manner. Necessary mathematical tools including vector and tensor analysis, matrix algebra, Fourier analysis, statistics of errors, signal processing, and data inversion are introduced with many relevant examples. The text also addresses the fundamentals of seismometry and applications of seismology to societal issues. Special attention is paid to help students visualize connections between different topics and view seismology as an integrated science. An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes, and Earth Structure gives an excellent overview for students of geophysics and tectonics, and provides a strong foundation for further studies in seismology. Multidisciplinary examples throughout the text - catering to students in varied disciplines (geology, mineralogy, petrology, physics, etc.). Most up to date book on the market - includes recent seismic events such as the 1999 Earthquakes in Turkey, Greece, and Taiwan). Chapter outlines - each chapter begins with an outline and a list of learning objectives to help students focus and study. Essential math review - an entire section reviews the essential math needed to understand seismology. This can be covered in class or left to students to review as needed. End of chapter problem sets - homework problems that cover the material presented in the chapter. Solutions to all odd numbered problem sets are listed in the back so that students can track their progress. Extensive References - classic references and more current references are listed at the end of each chapter. A set of instructor's resources containing downloadable versions of all the figures in the book, errata and answers to homework problems is available at: http://levee.wustl.edu/seismology/book/. Also available on this website are PowerPoint lecture slides corresponding to the first 5 chapters of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes and Volcanoes: Hot Springs Earthquakes and volcanoes are among the most frequent and terrible phenomena which affect the physical condition of our globe. Having seen so many and varied Opinions and theories concerning the cause, the impression came upon me, that surely, with all our boasted learning, and all our recent discoveries in physical, electrical, magnetical and astronomical science, a correct theory could be established beyond a reasonable doubt. I am now writing thoroughly imbued with that impression. I will say, however, that I do not intend to leave God out of the creation as most scientists do. It simply remains for us to discover the laws by which He created the heavens and the earth, and the power by which He controls them in the hollow of His hand.
