Download or read book Super Volcanoes: What They Reveal about Earth and the Worlds Beyond written by Robin George Andrews and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhilarating, time-traveling journey to the solar system’s strangest and most awe-inspiring volcanoes. Volcanoes are capable of acts of pyrotechnical prowess verging on magic: they spout black magma more fluid than water, create shimmering cities of glass at the bottom of the ocean and frozen lakes of lava on the moon, and can even tip entire planets over. Between lava that melts and re-forms the landscape, and noxious volcanic gases that poison the atmosphere, volcanoes have threatened life on Earth countless times in our planet’s history. Yet despite their reputation for destruction, volcanoes are inseparable from the creation of our planet. A lively and utterly fascinating guide to these geologic wonders, Super Volcanoes revels in the incomparable power of volcanic eruptions past and present, Earthbound and otherwise—and recounts the daring and sometimes death-defying careers of the scientists who study them. Science journalist and volcanologist Robin George Andrews explores how these eruptions reveal secrets about the worlds to which they belong, describing the stunning ways in which volcanoes can sculpt the sea, land, and sky, and even influence the machinery that makes or breaks the existence of life. Walking us through the mechanics of some of the most infamous eruptions on Earth, Andrews outlines what we know about how volcanoes form, erupt, and evolve, as well as what scientists are still trying to puzzle out. How can we better predict when a deadly eruption will occur—and protect communities in the danger zone? Is Earth’s system of plate tectonics, unique in the solar system, the best way to forge a planet that supports life? And if life can survive and even thrive in Earth’s extreme volcanic environments—superhot, superacidic, and supersaline surroundings previously thought to be completely inhospitable—where else in the universe might we find it? Traveling from Hawai‘i, Yellowstone, Tanzania, and the ocean floor to the moon, Venus, and Mars, Andrews illuminates the cutting-edge discoveries and lingering scientific mysteries surrounding these phenomenal forces of nature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earth Science: A Physiography The introductory chapter gives a general idea of what has hap pened on the earth and what is going on now, so that the pupil is made aware of the aim of the entire subject. This is followed by a study of the materials of which the earth is made, rocks, and of the forces acting upon those materials. Having learned that much, the pupil is in a position to understand how these forces have modified the earth's surface and made it what it is today. The land is studied first, because pupils are more likely to know something about land, to begin with. It is for that reason they find land studies easier than the rest of the subject. This is followed by a short history of the earth, designed to teach the student how the earth came to its present condition. The chapter is optional, but the author feels that many of the better students will be eager to read it. The study of the land will probably occupy the first half of a year. The pupils who have successfully completed the first half will then study the earth's relations in space, seasons, latitude, longitude, time, the atmosphere and associated phenomena like weather and climate. And the year's work is brought to an end by the study of the sea with special emphasis on harbors. The text is printed in type of two sizes: larger type for the essential material and smaller for the Optional. Each chapter has a completion summary which the pupil is required to Copy and complete. This avoids the objection that many teachers have to the ordinary summary: that some pupils read only the summary. The completion summary acts as a self-test, for if the pupil is able to fill in the blanks, he knows that he has learned his lesson and this knowledge carries with it a sense of mastery and hence a feeling of satisfaction. At the end of each chapter are questions on every important point in the text and the teacher may well use these questions as a chief part of his assignment. There is also a set of optional questions which will challenge the best students to extend themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Study of the Earth: Readings in Geological Science We have reason to believe that the earth has been undergoing a long and complex development, proceeding from a comparatively homogeneous and simple structure to one much more complex. Some five billion years ago, there was only a cloud of matter in the form of dust and gas. Later, an earth gradually evolved, and still later oceans, continents, and a primitive atmosphere formed. The first lifelike structure gradually developed, eons ago, from comparatively complex minerals. And a human animal appeared only an instant ago in geologic time, the improbable product of an incredibly long sequence of ancestral events which began with the appropriate-sized cloud at a certain distance from a star.-such are the broad but imperfectly understood outlines of the modern evolutionary View of the world, much of whose development has come through study of the earth.

Book excerpt: One of Vox’s Most Important Books of the Decade New York Times Editors' Choice 2017 Forbes Top 10 Best Environment, Climate, and Conservation Book of 2017 As new groundbreaking research suggests that climate change played a major role in the most extreme catastrophes in the planet's history, award-winning science journalist Peter Brannen takes us on a wild ride through the planet's five mass extinctions and, in the process, offers us a glimpse of our increasingly dangerous future Our world has ended five times: it has been broiled, frozen, poison-gassed, smothered, and pelted by asteroids. In The Ends of the World, Peter Brannen dives into deep time, exploring Earth’s past dead ends, and in the process, offers us a glimpse of our possible future. Many scientists now believe that the climate shifts of the twenty-first century have analogs in these five extinctions. Using the visible clues these devastations have left behind in the fossil record, The Ends of the World takes us inside “scenes of the crime,” from South Africa to the New York Palisades, to tell the story of each extinction. Brannen examines the fossil record—which is rife with creatures like dragonflies the size of sea gulls and guillotine-mouthed fish—and introduces us to the researchers on the front lines who, using the forensic tools of modern science, are piecing together what really happened at the crime scenes of the Earth’s biggest whodunits. Part road trip, part history, and part cautionary tale, The Ends of the World takes us on a tour of the ways that our planet has clawed itself back from the grave, and casts our future in a completely new light.
