  4. “The Solid Earth: An Introduction to Global Geophysics” by C.M.R. Fowler – This book provides an overview of the physical and chemical processes that shape the Earth’s interior and surface, including plate tectonics and seismic activity. Understanding these processes is important for understanding the potential impact of an asteroid or comet on the Earth’s surface.
  5. “The Antarctic: A Very Short Introduction” by Klaus Dodds – This book provides an introduction to the geography, geology, climate, and history of Antarctica, which can be relevant to understanding the potential impact of an asteroid or comet on the continent.
  6. “The Geology of Antarctica” edited by David H. Elliot – This book provides an overview of the geological history of Antarctica, including the formation of the continent and its geological features. Understanding these processes is important for understanding the potential impact of an asteroid or comet on the continent.
  7. “Antarctic Environments and Resources: A Geographical Perspective” by P. F. Barker – This book provides an overview of the environmental and ecological factors that shape the Antarctic continent, including its geological features. This can be relevant to understanding the potential impact of an asteroid or comet on the continent.
