Earthquake Thermodynamics and Phase Transformations in the Earth's Interior

INTERNATIONAL GEOPHYSICS SERIES, Volume 76

Earthquake thermodynamics offers us a microscopic model of earthquake sources. Through the thermodynamic approach, the authors arrive at the fascinating question of posssibility of earthquake prediction. In general, the Earth is considered here as a multicomponent system. Transport phenomena as well as wave propagation and shock waves are considered in this system subjected also to chemical and phase transformations.
