The Prince William Sound Alaska Earthquake Of 1964 And Aftershocks Research Studies Seismology And Marine Geology Pt A Engineering Seismology Pt B Seismology Pt C Marine Geology 2 V PDF Download

This publication is Volume II, Parts B and C, of a three volume series. Part B, Seismological Studies, covers what might be termed "pure" seismology in connection with the Prince William Sound earthquake. Studies involve extensive statistical evaluations of the observational data obtained during and after the principal earthquake, as well as analytical and theoretical interpretations of these data. A discussion of the seismic sea wave or tsunami, generated by this earthquake, is also discussed. Part C, Marine Geological Studies, is included under the same cover with Part B because of the causal action of differential movements along faults in the ocean floor in triggering earthquake aftershocks. The creation of fault scarps on the sea bottom and the modification of the submarine terrain by faulting associated with the earthquake are also discussed in this section.
