Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

This text contains complete coverage of the geological processes behind major natural hazards, such as: earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods and hurricanes.

Von der hinteren Coverseite:

The fury of a tornado; the brilliant fire of a volcanic eruption; the brief intensity of an earthquake; the relentless burden of a prolonged drougbt. These are examples of the many bazards described in vivid detail in Dangerous Earth. Using clear, understandable language and superb photographs and artwork, Dangerous Earth provides the reader with the basic geologic knowledge needed to understand the causes of natural disasters. It also addresses the impacts of bazards on human interests, and the steps we can take to protect ourselves from natural disasters.
