A major earthquake in Tokyo would affect trade in the ports of Vancouver and Seattle, the economy of Silicon Valley in California, and the price of computers in Toronto and Halifax. Events that were local disasters in the past may now become global catastrophes with the risk to populations and economic wealth growing rapidly. Natural Hazards illustrates the geological process of the Earth as they become hazards that directly, and often violently, impact the human community on a local and global level. The second Canadian edition balances Canadian data and perspectives with the best examples from around the world in this non-technical survey of the Earth's surface processes. About The Cover: A snowboarder takes an extreme crash in a massive avalanche in Whistler, British Columbia. Most avalanches occur in remote, uninhabited mountains and consequently go unnoticed, but snow avalanche fatalities are increasing because more people are participating in winter recreational activities, notably skiing and snowboarding. Hazard City: Assignments in Applied Geology, Fourth Edition Included with every new copy of the text is access to Hazard City, an online environment that you can access through the companion website for this text: www.mygeoscienceplace.ca. Hazard City is a fictional town that puts you in the role of a practicing geologist -- gathering and analyzing real data, evaluating risk, and making assessments and recommendations. It contains 11 activities designed to help you become a more informed citizen: Earthquake Damage Assessment Volcanic Hazard Assessment Flood Insurance Rate Maps Landslide Hazard Assessment Shoreline Property Assessment Tsunami/Storm Surge Snowpack Monitoring Ground Water Contamination Coal Property Evaluation Landfill Siting Map Reading Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
