Earth's Natural Hazards : Understanding Natural Disasters And Catastrophes
Paperback Edition: 3
OUR PLANET IS A DYNAMIC PLACE.
There are numerous recent geological occurrences of life-changing events; earthquakes in Japan and the southwestern Pacific Ocean, the tsunami in South Asia, hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and typhoons in the Pacific, widespread flooding in the Midwest, as well as wildfires in California to name a few.
Earth's Natural Hazards: Understanding Natural Disasters & Catastrophes will help students understand the geologic background of these life-changing events and the dynamic and sometimes interrelated nature, of the Earth's geologic processes. This book goes beyond the geologic aspect of the disasters and discusses the human impact, climate change, and biological hazards that often result from major life-changing events.
