Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis dont happen every day, so how can budding scientists study how they work? Through experiments, models, and demonstrations. This indepth resource will teach readers how to build a seismograph to record a simulated earthquake, compare pressure waves and shear wavesthe two types of ground shocksusing a Slinky, and replicate a tsunamis destructive effect on a coastline built in a bathtub. Authors Matthys Levy and Mario Salvadori even discuss issues of modern architecture and civil engineering: how science can be used to protect buildings and property in earthquakeprone areas.Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis answers a wide array of questions about these phenomena. Can animals predict earthquakes? How have various cultures explained the movement of the earth throughout history? What is the Richter scale, and what does it tell us about the strength of a quake? And most important, readers will learn how to earthquakeproof their homes, and how to protect themselves should they experience a tremor.
