Written by Dr David Rothery, a volcanologist, geologist, planetary
scientist and Professor of Planetary Geosciences at the Open University,
Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis: A Complete Introduction is
designed to give you everything you need to succeed, all in one place.
It covers the key areas that students are expected to be confident in,
outlining the basics in clear English and providing added-value features
like a glossary of essential terms and even examples of questions you
might be asked in your seminar or exam.
The book uses a structure chosen to cover the essentials of most
university courses, with an introduction on how the Earth moves,
followed by separate sections on volcanoes (including eruptions, types
of volcano, volcanic hazards, volcanoes and climate, monitoring
volcanoes, predicting eruptions and living with volcanoes), earthquakes
(including faults, measurement, seismic monitoring, prediction,
prevention and preparedness) and tsunamis.
