Publisher's Synopsis
Earthquakes have been a topic of great interest for years, particularly in understanding their causes, characteristics, and the role of seismic waves in studying them. Seismic data are also integrated with other information to investigate the plate tectonic processes that cause earthquakes. This book covers a wide range of topics, including earthquake disasters by computational gravimetry, seismic resistant buildings, statistical seismology, geomagnetic and ionospheric anomalies as earthquake precursors, crustal Velocity and source rupture models, ground motion amplification, socio-economic impacts of earthquakes, SAR differential interferometry and paleoseismic zones of the earth's crust.
