In the history of seismology, no one has come close to present a basic framework on how to predict earthquakes. This book opens a new perspective that earthquakes are triggered by an extraterrestrial astrophysical source. The presence of this yet to be identified source could explain the how and why of earthquake occurrences. Not only that, working on this hypothesis, earthquakes can be predicted as they exhibited patterns that complement the presence of such a source that emits gravitational waves. These waves strike the earth like a lighthouse beam and induce the stress at the fault lines. This gravitational excitation is what actually causes earthquakes. The motion of plate tectonics is only a secondary event.
This new edition introduces more problem-solving strategies and new conceptual and challenge problems. Also, each Chapter Review has been enhanced with Learning Goals to reinforce the mastery of concepts for students.
This laboratory manual contains 42 experiments for the standard sequence of topics in general, organic, and biological chemistry.
The book guides students through basic chemistry problem solving with engaging visuals and a focus on developing the math skills necessary to be successful in the course.
