A connection between earthquakes and volcanic activity has probably been suspected since the earliest history of mankind. But it is the theory of Plate Tectonics to allow explaining the deeper relationship between the two phenomena and explaining both of them in a single unifying theory. ...
It is no coincidence that two of the greatest earthquakes ever recorded occurred at the start of the decade in which the theory of plate tectonics, the grand unifying theory of the solid Earth sciences, was developed. In this chapter, we introduce the different natural hazards associated with ...

Above all, plate tectonics provide an integrated explanation for the most obvious and dramatic geologic activity on the Earth's surface: crustal deformation, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. This was the big 'breaking story' and still年份: 2015 ...
plate boundaries form while others close up. Plate tectonics, the study of such relative motions and their consequences, allows relating surface, geological and geophysical structures with quantified movements attributed to deep processes of the Earth ’s heat engine: The interior is hot, space is ...

Earthquakes, and Earth Structure appears to follow a very traditional path, beginning with a nice overview chapter on the relevance of seismology, followed by chapters on seismic waves that include stress and strain basics, Earth structure, earthquake sources, and seismology and plate tectonics. On...
Understand the main ideas of plate tectonics: the boundary types of the plates (separated plate boundaries, convergent plate boundaries (subduction boundaries, collision boundaries), and flat shear (shear) plate boundaries). Master the concepts of Benioff belt, submarine magnetic anomaly belt, Curie ...
