Volcanoes are one of the fascinating yet terrifying wonders of nature. As geological formations formed from magma eruptions, volcanoes have the ability to destroy everything around them in a matter of seconds. However, on the flip side, the volcanic activity within them also presents its own beauty and uniqueness, such as the flowing lava, enchanting eruptions, and the creation of new islands. Moreover, volcanoes play a crucial role in the Earth's sustainability by creating fertile soil and producing economically valuable mineral resources. This book will enhance our knowledge about volcanoes in Indonesia.
Volcanoes are one of the natural wonders that are intriguing to study. From the outside, a volcano may appear like an ordinary mountain, but within it lies a tremendous force capable of producing dangerously large eruptions. Since prehistoric times, humans have been studying this phenomenon, and to this day, volcanoes remain an interesting research topic for scientists and natural observers. Despite often being frightening, volcanoes also have significant potential to provide benefits to humans, such as generating geothermal energy and fertile soil rich in nutrients. This book will discuss volcanoes in Indonesia.
Volcanoes are one of the most fascinating and fearsome geological phenomena on Earth. As sources of magma, gas, and other volcanic materials, volcanoes can cause highly destructive eruptions that damage the surrounding environment. This book will delve into volcanoes, exploring what causes them, how their activity is monitored, and why volcanoes can have both positive and negative impacts on human life.
Indonesia has numerous national heroes who have made significant contributions to the struggle for the country's independence. One region that has produced many heroes is Java, an island located in the central part of Indonesia. National heroes from Java have played a crucial role in the Indonesian independence movement and various aspects of life in present-day Indonesia. This book will discuss several national hero figures from Java who have made substantial contributions to the struggle of the Indonesian nation.
The Beauty Of Bali Island That Indonesian Children Need To Know is a glimpse of the beauty of Bali in terms of its location, history, economy, inhabitants, tourism objects and culinary diversity. Hopefully, one day, after the children become adults, they will love, care for and take care of their nation even more.
Volcanoes are unquestionably one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring features of the physical world. Our paradoxical fascination with them stems from their majestic beauty and powerful, sometimes deadly, destructiveness. Notwithstanding the tremendous advances in volcanology since ancient times, some of the mystery surrounding volcanic eruptions remains today. The Encyclopedia of Volcanoes summarizes our present knowledge of volcanoes; it provides a comprehensive source of information on the causes of volcanic eruptions and both the destructive and beneficial effects. The early chapters focus on the science of volcanism (melting of source rocks, ascent of magma, eruption processes, extraterrestrial volcanism, etc.). Later chapters discuss human interface with volcanoes, including the history of volcanology, geothermal energy resources, interaction with the oceans and atmosphere, health aspects of volcanism, mitigation of volcanic disasters, post-eruption ecology, and the impact of eruptions on organismal biodiversity. - Provides the only comprehensive reference work to cover all aspects of volcanology - Written by nearly 100 world experts in volcanology - Explores an integrated transition from the physical process of eruptions through hazards and risk, to the social face of volcanism, with an emphasis on how volcanoes have influenced and shaped society - Presents hundreds of color photographs, maps, charts and illustrations making this an aesthetically appealing reference - Glossary of 3,000 key terms with definitions of all key vocabulary items in the field is included
As part of the Ring of Fire, Indonesia is one of the most volcanic countries on earth. The archipelago is home to many dormant volcanoes as well as some of the most violent volcanoes on the planet; the infamous Mt Merapi in Java erupts at least once a decade, often with devastating effects. Most people are aware of the destruction that volcanoes are capable of causing but few stop to consider how beneficial they are to the environment and population. Indonesia's ability to grow crops and sustain its population is in large part thanks to fertile volcanic soil. The country's volcanoes have literally and figuratively shaped the nation. In his approximately 25 years living in Indonesia, photographer Carl-Bernd Kaehlig has climbed many of these monster mountains and learnt the myths and legends surrounding them from his local guides. Volcanoes of Indonesia: Creators and Destroyers is a mesmerising collection of Kaehlig's best photographs, which are accompanied by informative captions and an introductory essay that gives the reader a sense of the importance of these mountains.
One of Springer’s Major Reference Works, this book gives the reader a truly global perspective. It is the first major reference work in its field. Paleoclimate topics covered in the encyclopedia give the reader the capability to place the observations of recent global warming in the context of longer-term natural climate fluctuations. Significant elements of the encyclopedia include recent developments in paleoclimate modeling, paleo-ocean circulation, as well as the influence of geological processes and biological feedbacks on global climate change. The encyclopedia gives the reader an entry point into the literature on these and many other groundbreaking topics.
