In this lay reader's introduction to the most spectacular and
devastating of all geological events, Rolf Schick describes how
earthquakes and volcanoes are related, and how they are an integral
part of Earth's structure. Tracing the latest findings and theories
in plate tectonics, he helps readers ask and answer the basic
questions: What was it during the formation of Earth that led to
these phenomena? Why do they occur in certain areas and not in
others? How can we, within reason, protect ourselves from their
devastation? And how far have we come, and how far can we go, in
predicting when they will strike? For the reader who wants a
concise and accessible guide to what makes the ground shake and
explode, this is the perfect introduction.
