Earthquake Research and Analysis - Seismology, Seismotectonic and Earthquake Geology
Edited by Sebastiano D'Amico, ISBN 978-953-307-991-2, Hard cover, 370 pages, Publisher: InTech, Published: February 08, 2012 under CC BY 3.0 license, in subject Geology and Geophysics
DOI: 10.5772/1117
This book is devoted to different aspects of earthquake research. Depending on their magnitude and the placement of the hypocenter, earthquakes have the potential to be very destructive. Given that they can cause significant losses and deaths, it is really important to understand the process and the physics of this phenomenon. This book does not focus on a unique problem in earthquake processes, but spans studies on historical earthquakes and seismology in different tectonic environments, to more applied studies on earthquake geology.
