  • Tsunami Vulnerability Studies for the Coastal Regions

    by Kirti Srivastava, Mounica Jakkula, V.P. Dimri ...
    This book covers the deformation formulation at the source, the initial tsunami wave, its propagation, and run-up, along with the mathematical formulation for generating the initial wave, its propagation, run-up, and inundation. It discusses the varying nature of water depth in different regions, tsunami arrival times, and wave heights on the coast, including the role of islands near the coast ... Read more

  • Investigating Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes

    by Michael Anderson ...
    Series series Introduction to Earth Science
    Some of the planet’s most destructive forces—including earthquakes and volcanic activity—are caused by the same factors that helped shape much of the Earth as it is today. Plate tectonics, or movement of the Earth’s outer layers, can occur in a number of different ways and produce a range of results, some minor and others far more considerable or devastating. Distinct maps, interesting sidebars, ... Read more

  • Encyclopedia of Volcanoes

    by Haraldur Sigurdsson, Bruce Houghton, Hazel Rymer, John Stix, Steve McNutt ...
    Volcanoes are unquestionably one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring features of the physical world. Our paradoxical fascination with them stems from their majestic beauty and powerful, if sometimes deadly, destructiveness. Notwithstanding the tremendous advances in volcanology since ancient times, some of the mystery surrounding volcanic eruptions remains today. The Encyclopedia of ... Read more

  • Plates vs Plumes

    A Geological Controversy

    by Gillian R. Foulger ...
    Since the advent of the mantle plume hypothesis in 1971, scientists have been faced with the problem that its predictions are not confirmed by observation. For thirty years, the usual reaction has been to adapt the hypothesis in numerous ways. As a result, the multitude of current plume variants now amounts to an unfalsifiable hypothesis.In the early 21st century demand became relentless for a ... Read more

  • Volcanoes

    Global Perspectives

    by John P. Lockwood, Richard W. Hazlett ...
    Volcanoes are essential elements in the delicate global balance of elemental forces that govern both the dynamic evolution of the Earth and the nature of Life itself. Without volcanic activity, life as we know it would not exist on our planet. Although beautiful to behold, volcanoes are also potentially destructive, and understanding their nature is critical to prevent major loss of life in the ... Read more

  • Plate Tectonics, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes

    by John P Rafferty ...
    Series series Dynamic Earth
    The devastation wrought by earthquakes and volcanoes often obscures the fact that these destructive forces are also some of the most creative on the planet birthing mountains and other land forms. With detailed diagrams outlining the structure of continental and oceanic crust and the distribution of major plate motion, this book introduces readers to the range of activity that can shape or ...

  • Volcano-Tectonic Processes

    by Valerio Acocella ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Volcanoes have terrified and, at the same time, fascinated civilizations for thousands of years. Many aspects of volcanoes, most notably the eruptive processes and the compositional variations of magma, have been widely investigated for several decades and today constitute the core of any volcanology textbook. Nevertheless, in the last two decades, boosted by the availability of volcano monitoring ... Read more

  • Tsunamis

    Detection, Monitoring, and Early-Warning Technologies

    by Antony Joseph ...
    The devastating impacts of tsunamis have received increased focus since the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the most destructive tsunami in over 400 years of recorded history. The tsunamis that occurred as a result of the earthquake in Japan in March 2011 further emphasized the need for detection, monitoring, and early-warning technologies. This professional reference is the first of its kind: it ... Read more
