    Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and TsunamisProjects and Principles for Beginning GeologistsMatthys Levy, Mario Salvadori

    Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis don't happen every day, so how can budding scientists study how theywork? Through experiments, models, and demonstrations. This in-depth resource will teach readers how to builda seismograph to record a simulated earthquake, compare pressure waves and shear waves-the two types ofground shocks-using a Slinky, and replicate a tsunami's destructive effect on a "coastline" built in a bathtub.Authors Matthys Levy and Mario Salvadori even discuss issues of modern architecture and civil engineering: howscience can be used to protect buildings and property in earthquake-prone 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? Whatis the Richter scale, and what does it tell us about the strength of a quake? And most important, readers willlearn how to earthquake-proof their homes, and how to protect themselves should they experience a tremor.
