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.

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Earthquake Dangers Causes and Palliatives To those correspondents who favored the Committee with their individual earthquake experiences, the reasons above given will, it is hoped, suffice as an apology for thus apparently overlooking their interesting communications. The time may perhaps arrive when I may be able to make ample compensa tion for thus subjecting them, temporarily, to the neglect of silence. It will also fall in place here to express my grateful thanks to those honorary Officers of the Odd Fellows' Library who superintend its selection. Had it not been for the judicious manner in which that selection had been made, it is doubtful whether our stock Of earthquake literature would have been of the scantest description. With the addition of recent arrivals, the Odd Fellows' Library is now well furnished with the most important works cognate to this subject. To the polite and gentlemanly Librarians, I wish also to publicly convey my compliments for the facilities they have always displayed when referring to the volumes under their care.

Download or read book Earthquakes written by George Walter Hale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earthquakes: Their Origin and Phenomena No one seems to know what earthquake phenomena is like, no one reads it. It is so strange and inscrutably wonderful that one does not know what it means, when he does read it: for it is absolutely mysterious and unaccountable. Modern science has long ago abandoned it as hopeless and many refuse to believe the things, that successive generations of men, have recorded over and over again, of this phenomena. The writer discovered its true source, years ago, but it has required years to unravel and place it before the reader, with any positive assurance and this largely because, ignorant of its origin, the accounts are so confusing and imperfect. 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 herewith, 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 phenomena, 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. Science at the present time, knows nothing of this origin and assumes from Mallet, that all phenomena, proceeds from the earth, but it accounts for and explains nothing and its assumptions are curiously confusing.

Book Synopsis The Behavior of the Earth by : Claude J. Allègre
Download or read book The Behavior of the Earth written by Claude J. Allègre and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well over a century after Darwin gave biology its unifying theory of evolution, the earth sciences experienced a similar revolution and the theory of plate tectonics took hold. Plate tectonics posed the idea that the earth's crust is divided into a number of large, thin plates always in motion relative to one another. In The Behavior of the Earth, world-renowned earth scientist Claude Allègre sets forth the exciting events in this contemporary revolution from its first stirrings in the nineteenth-century and Alfred Wegener's original model of continental drift (1912) through the development of its full potential in modern plate-tectonic theory. Few scientific theories have been so all-encompassing, and none has surpassed plate tectonics in explaining such a wide variety of geological phenomena, from the origins of mountain building to the formation of the ocean floor. As it integrated our knowledge of the earth's surface with the investigation of its interior, plate tectonics fused two previously autonomous strains of scientific inquiry. Continental mobility changed for all time our view of the earth from a static globe to an evolving, living planet, and allowed us to see that changes in the earth's surface are but exterior manifestations of a dynamic interplay of forces within the crust and the mantle.Allègre casts his lucid exposition of this scientific theory within the historical context of its struggle for acceptance. As he introduces us to the huge cast of personalities and researchers who contributed to the theory, he illuminates the complex role that the scientific community plays in the proliferation and acceptance of new ideas. Allègre is as insightful in discussing the human motivation for scientific endeavor as he is skillful in presenting the science that results from this effort. Richly illustrated and including a glossary, this book offers the reader rare access both to the central theory of plate tectonics and to the constellation of problems and possibilities that preoccupy earth scientists today.

The Folded Rock. Stresses and Strains. Bend ing Yielding Rupture. Flow of Solids - Adams and Nicolson. The Crust of the Earth. Isostasy. Elastic and Quasi-elastic. IT is worthy of remark that the oldest science is Astronomy and the youngest Geology. Ages before any systematic attempt had been made to unravel the complexities of the structure of the earth on which we live, the human mind had grasped the scientific unity of the Cosmos. The reason of this is not far to seek. It lies in the apparent simplicity of the celestial problem, which early disclosed itself to the gropings after knowledge of the ancient Chal deans, Akkadians, and Indians.
