Synopsis
Plate Tectonics is the study of the forces that cause continental drift. When tectonic plates collide or move apart, mountains are formed, volcanoes erupt, and earthquakes occur. These huge plates move one to four inches a year, yet we see and experience effects of that movement every day.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-9-This overview is presented in a simple, open format, with large-font type and full-color photographs and diagrams. A brief history of the concept of plate tectonics is presented. The text covers continental drift, the Ring of Fire, and the formation of mountains. General information is given about scientific study into the measurement and detection of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. This book is easier than Helen Roney Sattler's Our Patchwork Planet (Lothrop, 1995).
