Urban seismic risk is growing worldwide and is, increasingly, a problem of developing countries. In 1950, one in four of the people living in the world's fifty largest cities was earthquake-threatened, while in the year 2000,...

There are few books and long review articles on water reservoir induced seismicity, mining induced seismicity and even on volcanic seismicity but the subjects of induced seismicity following fluid extraction and nuclear...

Is there a volcano near you? While the soil around one can be excellent for planting, it can also cause immense destruction if it erupts. In this book, we're going to study the signs of volcanic activity prior to an eruption. We're also going to explore...

Tectonic plates are found deep in the Earth but they affect everything on land and sea. When they crash, new mountains are formed. When they slip, valleys are found. And when all these happen, earthquakes would shake cities and towns. Understanding how...

Did the ground just shake? You're not just imagining it, it's probably an earthquake! An earthquake is a natural phenomenon that cannot be predicted. No instrument can tell when and where an earthquake will happen. So instead of trying to guess, it's...

Volcanoes are dangerous when they erupt. The super hot lava could destroy properties and claim lives too. If you live near a volcano, it is important that you be aware of what happens when it erupts. This picture won't just tell you about it, it'll show...
