Title: Best video on earthquake effects
Review: I use this video for my undergraduate class Earthquakes. It tells the story of the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes. It has a lively pace, modern knowledge, and accurate facts.Kobe is really the story of earthquake-induced fires, much as was the case for the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and liquefaction of dock facilities, leading to economic distress for years afterwards.I give it four rather than five stars because tape is simply less convenient and compelling than a clean dvd would be, and the facts are right, but 10 years old now. The 3-video setNova: Earthquake the Science Behind the Shakeincludes parts of this video, and IS on DVD, but is less focused and more dated.The best way to learn about moderate earthquakes in an urban setting in an engaging hour, with emphasis on the tectonic setting and and particular issues of Japan and California. Good luck finding it.
