Description
This programme examines the scale of energy involved in earthquakes and demonstrates practically the relationship between energy of the event and destruction. Seismic detection from 12th cenury Chi...nese to the present day is then investigated and the methods of earthquake location and depth determination are demonstrated. This is a programme designed as an introduction to all aspects of seismology
