Deep Earthquakes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Deep earthquakes are earthquakes with origins deeper than 60 km. They account for approximately one-quarter of all earthquakes, are occasionally very large and damaging and provide much of the data that constrain our knowledge of Earth structure and dynamics. Deep Earthquakes presents the first comprehensive, topical, historical, and geographical summary of deep earthquakes and related phenomena. It will be of considerable interest to researchers and graduate students in the fields of earthquake seismology and deep Earth structure.
