Accretionary Wedge #2: How the Earth Could Kill You

All of My Faults Are Stress Related: Accretionary Wedge #2: How the Earth Could Kill You

This Geology carnival has a collection of some fascinating posts on natural disasters. Being partial to volcanology, I enjoyed the post on the Deccan volcanoes that killed off the ammonites. This would have made a good post for the Accrectionary Wedge's next carnival, coincidentally hosted here November 15th! The theme for this one is the Intersection between life and a Hard Place. I want to see posts by geolgists on how they affect or are affected by biology and I want to see posts by biologists on how important geology is to their study. Lets bridge divide!
