Description
Earthquakes lead to losses to billions of dollars annually, and that's not even counting the collateral loss of human life. So what causes earthquakes? Is it something we do, which we shouldn't do? Is it something that's not in our control? The author argues that, just like everything else in life, the answer is somewhere in between the two extremes. We can control earthquakes, while at the same time, we can do nothing about them. What we can certainly do is to mitigate the fury of mother nature. So how do we keep one unstoppable force of God's green earth at bay? Science gives us some pointers ..
There's a lot of cool science: satellite images, wave signals, sliding faults, and lots of waves. So what exactly are faults? They are, quite simply, huge cracks running under the earth's surface. Are they scary? Not really, they just stay there, and stay dormant till something pokes at them .. What disturbs these faults? Anything can: rainfall can, snowfall can, tidal waves can, and more importantly humans can. So what exactly happens under the earth's surface that we cannot see. Well, let's find out in this bookEXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
