Book Description
This book is intended to, firstly evaluate the present relative seismicity of various parts of the earth, and secondly to discuss the geography and the geological character of the zones and areas of seismic activity. This includes correlation with alignments of active volcanoes and gravity anomalies, and with oceanic deeps, mountain structures, and other topographic features. Mechanism is discussed, particularly with reference to the crust folding and block faulting.

Book Description
In this book The Geographic and Oceanographic Research in Indian Waters , the author has attempted to bring together the results that have been obtained from a study of oceanography which includes not only the hydrographic and meteorological conditions present but also the topography of the sea-floor and the character of its deposits, as well as the formation and structure of the coral reefs and islands, in the area that has been surveyed by the Marine Survey of India and as such termed as Indian waters. The book presents all the knowledge possessed at that time regarding the physical conditions present in India seas. In the Author s opinion the investigations regarding the conditions present in the waters of the sea have shown conclusively that these are in a continuous state of change. In consequence of all this continual change, isolated observations taken by Challenger , Valdavia etc, give merely a picture of the conditions existing at the actual moment when the observations were made and furnish no guide as to what may be the state of affairs even a few hours later. The effect of these changes on the fauna must be considerable and in consequence the study of the physical conditions that exist in any given area forms an important branch of the study of the bionomics of that area. Contents Chapter 1: The Geography of the Andaman Sea Basin; Chapter 2: A Study of the Nature of the Sea-Bed and of the Deep-Sea Deposits of the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal; Chapter 3: Maritime Meteorology in Indian Seas; Chapter 4: The Temperature and Salinity of the Coastal Water of the Andaman Sea; Chapter 5: The Temperature and Salinity of the Surface Waters of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea, with References to the Laccadive Sea; Chapter 6: The Temperature and Salinity of the Deeper Waters of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea; Chapter 7: The Topography and Bottom Deposits of the Laccadive Sea; Chapter 8: Studies on Coral and Coral-Formations in Indian Waters; Chapter 9: Index.
