Synopsis

This book provides brief but detailed accounts of individual, important earthquakes that have occurred during the last half century. The earthquake's importance has been judged by the scientific value of the results achieved by the study of the shocks. Includes accounts of The Neapolitan Earthquake of December 16th, 1857, The Andalusian Earthquake of December 25th 1884, The Riviera Earthquake of February 23rd, 1887, the Indian Earthquake of June 12th, 1897 among others.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I propose in this book to describe a few of the more important earthquakes that have occurred during the last half century. In judging of importance, the standard which I have adopted is not that of intensity only, but rather of the scientific value of the results that have been achieved by the study of the shocks. Even with this reservation, the number of earthquakes that might be included is considerable; and I have therefore selected those which seem to illustrate best the different methods of investigation employed by seismologists, or which are of special interest owing to the unusual character of their phenomena or to the light cast by them on the nature and origin of earthquakes in general.
