The book uses earthquakes and volcanoes in the US as its source material. The best examples may not always be taken from the 50 States, but an American audience is likely to find it more interesting. Lastly, Fradkin, in "Magnitude 8", doesn't seem to think scientists know how to communicate. This book is a counterexample in eactly the same area he's writing about. 3 people found this helpful.
The book takes a virtual field trip across the United States, visiting sites . The centennial of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake is a natural time to reflect on the past, present, and future of seismology.
The book takes a virtual field trip across the United States, visiting sites including the Cascadia subduction zone, the San Andreas fault, the Long Valley caldera, the Basin and Range, New Madrid, and Hawaii. The Earth crust in polar areas is compressing with increasing of angular velocity of rotating planet, and it is extensible in the equator zone. The decreasing of rotation velocity leads to opposite result. We've come far in little more than the hundred years since the first seismometers were developed in the late 1800's.
The Earth in Turmoil book. The Earth in Turmoil describes earthquakes and volcanoes from the point of view of scientists who are trying to understand their causes and forecast future activity. Volcanologists risk their lives to scoop samples from an erupting volcano's throat. Geologists scratch at the desert floor, looking for traces of ancient tremors.
