A History of Persian Earthquakes
Av N. N. Ambraseys, C. P. Melville
Häftad, 2005
987 kr

Modern plate tectonic theory, the development of earthquake prediction and the mitigation of earthquake hazards are based on the study of earthquakes during the twentieth century. Investigation of earthquakes over a much longer period, although in no way invalidating the global importance of plate …
Phosphate Deposits of the World: Volume 3, Neogene to Modern Phosphorites
Av William C. Burnett, Stanley R. Riggs
Häftad, 2006
1163 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Marine phosphorites, the principal raw material for phosphatic fertilizers, do not occur uniformly through time and space. The origin of these unusual sedimentary rocks appears to be related mainly to marine biological productivity, often associated with upwelling currents during certain intervals …
Jurassic Environments
