Physics of the Earth
Description
The book presents a detailed, critical analysis of the whole range of global geophysics topics and traces our understanding of the Earth, from its origin and composition to recent ideas about rotation of the inner core. The division of this new edition into an increased number of shorter chapters is designed to make the material more accessible, and allows students to focus on topics of particular interest. New chapters on elastic and inelastic properties,rock mechanics, kinematics of earthquake processes,earthquake dynamics and thermal properties have been added. A brief concluding chapter also reviews contributions from solid Earth studies to our understanding of climate change and the potential for ‘alternative’ energies.
