Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This volume in the Science 101 series explores how Earth's processes have influenced human history. It discusses both gradual changes, such as climate variations and the development of tools and energy sources, as well as rapid, violent events like volcanic eruptions and natural disasters. The book examines instances like the Toba eruption 75,000 years ago, which may have led to human diversification, and the Santorini eruption in 1640 BC, potentially linked to the decline of Minoan civilization. Contemporary events like Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami are also analyzed to illustrate the ongoing impact of Earth's processes on human societies
