Physics of the Earth - Teaching Aid

The manual describes the basics of earth physics, concepts of geophysics, seismology and types of seismic exploration, causes, occurrence and patterns of earthquakes. It lists the ＂Most Destructive Earthquakes＂ that have occurred in certain regions of the globe. The manual is written for successful study of the discipline of ＂Seismology, Earth Physics and Earthquake Engineering＂. The textbook is intended for students of the following specialties: ＂Introduction to Specialty＂, ＂Construction of Buildings and Structures (by types)＂, ＂Architecture＂, ＂Production of Building Materials＂, ＂Hydraulic Engineering Construction＂, ＂Industrial Construction＂, as well as teachers in these fields.This textbook is written for students of technical universities, for successful study of the direction of ＂Earthquake-resistant construction＂. When preparing the textbook, the author was based on the materials of many foreign authors ＂Fundamentals of Earth Physics＂, ＂Seismology＂, ＂Geophysics＂, as well as on Internet sites devoted to earth physics, seismology and earthquakes.
