| Abstract
|
:
|
Presents a scientific survey that provides a vivid exploration of natural phenomena. This title demonstrates how to build a seismograph to record a simulated earthquake, compare pressure waves and shear waves - the two types of ground shocks - with a Slinky, and replicate a tsunami's destructive effect on a 'coastline' built in a bathtub.
