The study of earthquakes is a fascinating subject both for the professional and the fayperson, and has increasing importance as populations expand and spread. Seismology continues to grow and become more sophisticated with the development of better instruments and surveys, and the impact of the computer. Providing an introduction to the subject, this volume looks at general seismology, seismic waves, earthquakes and their effects, the structure of the Earth, and exploration seismology, in particular hydrocarbon exploration. This highly illustrated book includes a survey of principles and applications with a non-mathematical approach, together with an historical section and a large reference list. Suitable for students, geologists, geophysicists, and the layperson, this volume provides an up-to-date overview of general and exploration seismology.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSeismic Waves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Seismograph.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Earthquake Properties.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Earthquake Frequency and Distribution (Seismicity).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Earthquake Mechanism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Earthquake Engineering.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Earthquake Prediction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Other Seismic Phenomena.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Earth Structure and the Continental Crust.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Oceanic Areas and Margins.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lithosphere and Mantle.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Core.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Seismic Exploration and the Refraction Method.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Seismic Reflection Surveys.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Seismic Surveys at Sea.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Corrections and Processing of Reflection Data.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Seismic Velocities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Multiple Reflections.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Seismic Migration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Presentation and Interpretation of Data.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298075210008,"sku":"9780471948698","price":106.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471948698.jpg?v=1781734750","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/seismology-paperback-softback-9780471948698","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
