Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquakes can be disastrous, but the earth moves in many other ways as well--landslides, rockslides, mudflows, avalanches--sometimes with terrible results. When the Earth Moves explains how the earth is ever in motion, from gradual, daily occurrences such as soil creep to great events, such as when the ancient city of Ubar disappeared in a sinkhole. Delicate balances of tectonic plates, of water and gravity, and of snow and sound are ever changing. Author Sandra Downs explains what may tip the scales to set earth in motion with examples from around the world. Book jacket.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquakes are among the heaviest hitters in the world of natural phenomena that shape our planet. Not only can they cause massive amounts of damage on their own, they can also cause other disasters, such as tsunamis and avalanches. Daring readers will learn how and why earthquakes occur. They'll encounter key science concepts such as the tectonic plates theory and the Richter scale. Graphic organizers and interesting sidebars summarize difficult concepts into easy-to-comprehend sections while vivid photographs capture readers' attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other natural disasters, scientists are far less able to predict an earthquake — and even the places that are prone to earthquakes still do not and cannot prepare. Our most notorious earthquakes come from earthquake zones located at the boundaries of tectonic plates (irregular-shaped chunks of the Earth's crust), in most cases near a belt of volcanoes at the edges of moving plates encircling that ocean called the "Ring of Fire." But what about shaking in the wrong places? Consider the New Madrid Fault Zone right next to the Mississippi River; fractures in the crust that run through parts of New York, central North Carolina, and New Mexico; and a long sinuous cracked ridge from Utah to Montana. These are especially vulnerable areas, and much of our population is unaware that the threat of an earthquake is quite likely to occur. When the Earth Moves is a lively and accessible account of everything you wanted to know about the fault line that runs through Manhattan's Upper West Side, tsunamis, and volcanoes in the sea — and how to prepare yourself for the earthquake that just might be waiting in your own backyard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The destructive force of earthquakes has stimulated human inquiry since ancient times, yet the scientific study of earthquakes is a surprisingly recent endeavor. Instrumental recordings of earthquakes were not made until the second half of the 19th century, and the primary mechanism for generating seismic waves was not identified until the beginning of the 20th century. From this recent start, a range of laboratory, field, and theoretical investigations have developed into a vigorous new discipline: the science of earthquakes. As a basic science, it provides a comprehensive understanding of earthquake behavior and related phenomena in the Earth and other terrestrial planets. As an applied science, it provides a knowledge base of great practical value for a global society whose infrastructure is built on the Earth's active crust. This book describes the growth and origins of earthquake science and identifies research and data collection efforts that will strengthen the scientific and social contributions of this exciting new discipline.

Book excerpt: This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.
