TY - GEN AU - Prager, Ellen TI - Dangerous earth: what we wish we knew about volcanoes, hurricanes, climate change, earthquakes, and more SN - 9789354891892 U1 - 551 PY - 2022/// CY - Gurugram PB - HarperCollins Publishers India KW - Nature KW - Earth KW - Natural disasters KW - Climatic changes KW - Science and nature N1 - Includes index and references N2 - The Earth is a beautiful and wondrous planet, but also frustratingly complex and, at times, violent. Volcanic eruptions create land and produce nutrient-rich soil, but they can also bury entire towns under lava and debris. The very forces that create and recycle Earth’s crust also spawn destructive earthquakes and tsunamis. Water and wind spread life, but in hurricanes they can leave devastation in their wake. Today, we know more than ever before about the powerful forces that can cause catastrophe, but significant questions remain. Why can’t we better predict some natural disasters? What do scientists know about them already? What do they wish they knew? https://harpercollins.co.in/product/dangerous-earth ER -
