Description: |
What causes the earth's plates to shift? When will the "big one" hit Los Angeles? Where is Tornado Alley? Here leading authorities explain geologic and meteorologic activity and their past and probable future effects on our world. Includes more than 200 full-color and b&w archival photos, sidebars, and maps. |
Synopsis: |
In this volume, writers examine the geologic and meteorologic processes that shape our environment. They present both a report on our understanding of nature's cataclysmic events and an overview of the greatest natural disasters in recorded history, from the destruction of Pompeii in A.D. 79 to the tornadoes, typhoons, earthquakes, and eruptions that make headlines today. |
