Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report gives information on earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes in the Northeastern Indian Ocean and adjacent land areas. Most of the seismic activity in this region has occurred along the Burma-Sunda arcs, the 89th meridian between 5 degrees N. and 5 degrees S., and southwest of Ceylon. Tsunamis and other large waves have been reported from most coastal sectors in the area. Damage by tsunamis has been restricted to the coasts of Sumatra and adjacent islands. Active volcanoes in the area are located on Sumatra and Barren Island. A submarine eruption was reported on the flank of the Ninety East Ridge in 1883. Mud volcanoes have been reported from the coast of Burma and off the southwest coast of India.

A few tsunamis have been reported from the Sulu Sea, The northeastern quarter of the South China Sea, the Java Sea-Makassar Strait region, and the Indian Ocean side of Indonesia.

The second borders the Pacific Ocean from New Guinea through the Philippine Islands and Taiwan. The third, a region of submarine volcanism, lies in the South China Sea off South Vietnam.

Download or read book Furnace of Creation Cradle of Destruction written by Roy CHESTER and published by AMACOM Div American Mgmt Assn. This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few years, devastating tsunamis off the coast of the Indian Ocean have killed hundreds of thousands of people. Even more alarmingly, scientists predict that these tsunamis, as well as a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, may eventually threaten Hawaii, California, and Oregon. The cause of this trinity of natural disasters is plate tectonics. Perhaps the greatest advance made in the field of earth science, the plate-tectonics theory argues that the surface of the Earth is broken into large plates, which change in size and position over time. The edges of these plates rub against each other, causing earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis that continue to inflict such intense destruction to the surface our planet. In Furnace of Creation, Cradle of Destruction, renowned scientist Roy Chester reveals the fascinating history of this discovery and tells the enigmatic story of one of the great mysteries of our time: how the surface of our planet was created and how it has evolved. From the early discoveries of Sir Francis Bacon to the beginnings of geology and the controversy surrounding the theory of continental drift, this impeccably researched book reveals the evolution of a vital scientific theory. Lucid and compelling, this book offers a long-awaited explanation of the underlying forces that shape our world.

Download or read book Witness to Disaster Tsunamis written by Judy Fradin and published by Disney Electronic Content. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s another beautiful day of your paradise vacation in South Asia. You look out onto a calm sea on this day after Christmas, already looking forward to ringing in 2005. But why is the ocean receding so far from shore? Are those fish flapping around in the sand? Something is not right. Your island getaway is about to be devastated with the 80-foot-plus waves of one of the worst tsunamis in history. The 2004 Asian Tsunami was the result of the second largest earthquake ever recorded. Lasting over eight minutes, it was also the longest on record. The quake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale, large enough to vibrate the entire planet, violent enough to move an ocean. Through eyewitness accounts and dramatic photography, the first chapter of Tsunamis puts you in the terrifying path of the wave that washed ashore in many countries. The tsunami wiped out whole communities and claimed an estimated 230,000 lives. Tsunamis explores the science, history, and personal experience of tsunamis and shows kids what scientists are doing to develop early warning systems so we can survive such disasters in the future.
