Description

Extreme Earthquakes and Tsunamis These two extreme events are of course related, and are equal partners in this book. We explain the geology of earthquakes, along with the effects of a sequence of shocks; typical rescue operations and the technology used for these; and how earthquakes may be predicted and buildings made to withstand them.

An earthquake can shift an entire city three metres make the Earth spin faster and send shudders right across the world. It is raw power at work - and then monster waves follow...These may travel thousands of kilometres across the ocean dump ships on dry land and ruin a million buildings in one fatal whoosh.
