Read and find out about one of nature's most mysterious forces--the
earthquake--in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.
Some earthquakes are so small that you don't even feel them, while
others can make even big buildings shake. Learn why earthquakes happen,
where they are most likely to occur, and what to do if one happens near
you.
Now with updated text and art, this classic picture book describes the
causes and effects of earthquakes (including a tsunami). This book
features rich vocabulary and fascinating cross-sections of mountains,
volcanoes, and faults in the earth's moving crust.
This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age
kids, both at home and in the classroom. The text and art were vetted by
Dr. Roland Burgmann, Professor of the Department of Earth and Planetary
Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
