Over the past few years, damaging tsunamis off of the coastline of the Indian Ocean have killed hundreds of thousands of people. Even more alarmingly, scientists predict these tsunamis, as well as a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, may eventually threaten Hawaii, California, and Oregon. The cause of this trinity of natural disasters is plate tectonics. Possibly the greatest advance made in the field of earth research, the plate-tectonics theory argues that the surface of the Earth is busted into large plates, which change in proportions and position over time. The edges of these plates rub against one another, creating earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis that continue to inflict such intense destruction to the surface our planet. In Furnace of Creation, Cradle of Damage, renowned scientist Roy Chester shows the fascinating background of this discovery and tells the enigmatic storyline of 1 of the great mysteries of the time: how the surface of our planet was created and how it has changed. From the first discoveries of Sir Francis Bacon to the beginnings of geology and the controversy surrounding the idea of continental drift, this impeccably explored book shows the evolution of your vital methodical theory. Lucid and compelling, this book offers a long-awaited reason of the underlying forces that condition our world.
