Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes in the Light of the New Seismology The standpoint of the new seismology is very different from that Of the Old. The latter Often seemed to regard earthquakes as being one Of the formative geologic forces Of nature, whose origin was mysterious, but which aecom plished important structural results. The new view treats them as pure effects Of geologic forces, just as thunder is an effect Of, the electric discharge, and not the cause Of it. As sound is merely the elastic vibration Of the a1r, _so, in the view Of the new seismology, the earthquake is merely the elastic vibration Of the earth-mass. Hence the science be comes in a great measure the investigation Of elastic wave motion in a solid medium. This medium is the earth itself.. And since the modes and configurations Of this motion depend almost wholly upon the nature Of the medium which transmits them, they become a means Of investigating some important problems relating to the con dition Of the earth's interior.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: An Introduction to Seismic Geology Probably no branch of science has made such astounding advances during the past decade as has seismology, if exception be made of the studies of radiant energy. Attention is drawn to this growth in the name "New Seismology," which refers to the fact that earthquakes may now be studied from a distant station as well as upon the ground. This term tells, however, but a part of the story; for the methods of study used in the field are being almost as thoroughly transformed as have the distinctly instrumental and physical studies made at fixed observing stations. We have, thus, to-day two wholly different types of earthquake investigators. On the one hand, there is the body of watchmen posted at observatories, who, with the aid of delicate and largely automatic instruments, are able to announce the arrival of earth shocks and study the registration of wave motions which have originated in jars anywhere upon or near the surface of the globe. In cooperation they are now able to fix the location of the disturbed districts, and thus for the first time it is possible to issue an annual earthquake catalogue for the planet regarded as a whole. These earthquake watchmen have been trained as physicists, and are in many, probably in most, cases without special knowledge of geology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Recent Earthquakes The present volume differs from a text-book of seismology in giving brief, though detailed, accounts of individual earthquakes rather than a discussion of the phenomena and distribution of earthquakes in general. At the close of his Les Tremblements de Terre, Professor Fouque has devoted a few chapters to some of the principal earthquakes between 1854 and 1887; and there are also the well-known chapters in Lyell's Principles of Geology dealing with earthquakes of a still earlier date. With these exceptions, there is no other work covering the same ground; and he who wishes to study any particular earthquake can only do so by reading long reports or series of papers written perhaps in several different languages. The object of this volume is to save him this trouble, and to present to him the facts that seem most worthy of his attention.

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.

Download or read book Earthquake Prediction written by David Nabhan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year the world faces thousands of earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater, resulting in devastating property destruction and tragic loss of life. To help avert these catastrophes, scientists have long searched for ways to predict when and where earthquakes will happen. The earth science establishment in the US says that earthquake prediction still lies outside the realm of possibility. But recent scientific developments across the globe suggest that seismic forecasting is on the horizon. Earthquake Prediction: Dawn of the New Seismology examines the latest scientific clues in hopes of discovering seismic precursors which may shed light on real earthquake prediction in the future. It is destined to be nothing less than an epoch-changing work, addressing this ancient enigma by joining the parts of a scientific detective story that ranges from the steppes of Russia to the coast of Chile, bringing to light astounding breakthroughs by researchers in Italy, India and elsewhere. Governments in countries such as China and Japan provide support for seismic forecasting, and it is time for our country to do the same. Earthquake Prediction makes the case, with an important message for the tens of millions of Americans on the US West Coast, the Mississippi River Valley, and other seismically active zones.

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.
