Additionally, it references several scholarly works on geology and physics, including a 1982 bulletin, a 2014 book by David L. Goodstein, a 2018 study by Mulcahy et al., and a 2015 paper by Wakabayashi, providing citations for further exploration of the subject.

It details various plate boundaries, geological deformations like folds and faults, and highlights key concepts including stress, strain, and fault types. The text underscores the challenge of adapting to seismic activity over predicting it, reflecting on the daily realities of living in a tectonically active region.
