| Summary |
"This is the first book to present a comprehensive description and discussion of 'deep earthquakes' - earthquakes with origins deeper than 60 km, including some with depths as great as 650-700 km. Deep earthquakes are scientifically important because they account for approximately one-quarter of all earthquakes; because a few are very large and very damaging; because they provide much of the data that constrain our knowledge of Earth structure and dynamics; and because scientists still don't fully understand the mechanical processes that allow then to occur." |
|
"Deep Earthquakes presents a 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."--Jacket. |
