Volcanoes: Eruptions and Other Volcanic Hazards
ISBN: 9780816064632 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Volcanic eruptions are some of the most spectacular of all natural phenomena, yet they are also among the most dangerous geological hazards. Eruptions may send blocks of rock, ash, and gas tens of thousands of feet into the atmosphere, and individual eruptions have been responsible for killing tens of thousands of people. The hazards associated with volcanic eruptions are not limited to the immediate threat from flowing lava and ash; they may also include long-term atmospheric and climate effects, changes to land use patterns, and the livelihood of human populations."Volcanoes" examines the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Every day parts of the surface of the Earth are rattled by earthquake tremors, and occasionally, some regions are shaken violently during earthquakes, resulting in widespread damage and destruction. Earthquakes in Iran, Turkey, and Japan have demonstrated how the motion of the Earth's tectonic plates can suddenly make apparently safe environments dangerous and even deadly."Earthquakes" focuses on the furious power of nature unleashed and the massive devastation that is often a result of the relentless forces that build up within the Earth. Presenting the main ideas of plate tectonics, this...

Tsunamis: Giant Waves from the Sea
ISBN: 9780816064649 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) A tsunami is a seismic sea wave generated by a sudden displacement of the seafloor, commonly caused by earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. Tsunamis are also commonly called tidal waves, although they have nothing to do with tides. Every few years, these giant sea waves rise unexpectedly out of the ocean and sweep over coastal communities, killing hundreds or thousands of people and causing millions of dollars in damage."Tsunamis" discusses the many aspects of the generation, movement, and effects of tsunamis. Helpful analysis of the triggering mechanisms for tsunamis, the physics...

The Coast: Hazardous Interactions Within the Coastal Environment
ISBN: 9780816064670 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 155 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Coastlines offer some of the best scenery and recreation areas, yet they also rank among the most hazardous areas to live. The world's coastline extends for about 273,000 miles, and nearly half of the world's population lives within 60 miles of the shoreline. The coastal zone is extremely critical for the world's economy, culture, and future survival, but it is also one of the most hazardous environments and the site of most of the world's deadliest disasters. "The Coast" focuses on the characteristic landforms and environments found in the coastal zone as well as the processes that form...

Landslides : Mass Wasting, Soil, and Mineral Hazards
ISBN: 9780816064656 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The outermost layer of the Earth consists of different materials, comprising rock, soil, organic matter, and other earth materials that together are called regolith. This regolith forms by the breakdown of solid bedrock, through processes of chemical, biological, and mechanical weathering. In rare and dramatic instances, large sections of regolith and even bedrock may suddenly collapse and race downhill, in what is known as a landslide."Landslides" examines the physical characteristics of the regolith, as well as the consequences when regolith moves - either slowly or more suddenly in...
