The magnificent Kliuchevskoi and Shiveluch volcanoes rule over this sometimes hellish region, where the torn North Pacific slab dives into the hot mantle of the earth. The result is 29 active volcanoes, four of which are in semi-continuous eruption, and 14 Magnitude Seven or greater earthquakes since 1962. The Kamchatka region is therefore subject to frequent study by Russian, American and Japanese researchers of coupled magnetism and tectonics. In this lavishly illustrated collection of nearly two dozen overviews and topical studies, researchers describe the region's tectonic evolution in the Kamchatka-Aleutian connection, the evolution of the Kurile-Kamchatkan volcanic arcs and dynamics of the Kamchatka-Aleutian junction, the origin of the modern subduction zone, seismic characteristics of the region, and volcanism in the late Pleistocene-Holocene era, with topic studies including imagery, magnetic and seismic constraints, reflective layers, spatial relationships, geochemistry, deformation patterns, and preliminary studies of a volcano on the region's Kuril Islands.
