Background:

The world in which we live can be visually beautiful, supplying us 
with our daily needs: air, water, minerals and oil, to name just a 
few. However, there are also destructive elements at work, producing 
earthquakes, tsunamis and other large natural disasters. Aside from 
discussing the physics of extreme natural hazards, the talk will 
describe some of the terrible consequences.

regards
