Seismicity Of The Earth And Associated Phenomena
Author: B. GutenbergPublisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473384540
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 466
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.
Faune des poissons d'eaux douces et saumâtres de l'Afrique de l'Ouest

Book Description
This new reexamined and corrected fauna displays an up to date account of knowledge on the systematics of the fresh and brackish water fishes of West Africa. Its aim is to help ichthyologists with the identification of the species they collect. It is made practical and didactic by paying special attention to iconography and as far as possibly by giving priority to the simplest and easiest observable criteria. West Africa, from the Senegal River basin in the North West to the Chad basin in the North East and the Cross River in the South, includes the majority of the Sahelo-Sudan basins, except for the Nile, and the Western Guinea area, covering the Atlantic Coastal Basins from Guinea to Western Cote d'Ivoire. Specialists of each group or family were called to write the chapters. To facilitate the access of this fauna, an English translation is provided for all text. Summary tables, comparing morphological characters and measures for the different species, complement the identification keys. Distribution maps are provided for freshwater species. At present, 64 families are described, including 192 genera and 584 valid species. A reduced paper version is presented in two volumes; the integral CD-ROM version is inserted on the back cover of the second volume.

ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 684
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.
