Earth-Shattering Events: Volcanoes, earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis and other natural disasters - Hardcover
Book 1 of 2: Non-Fiction by Robin Jacobs and Sophie Williams
Synopsis
'Dynamic illustrations paired with illuminating text will entice even a reluctant reader to revel in this selection; an excellent addition to any nonfiction library'. -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL STARRED REVIEW
'An eye-opening, and -widening, early introduction to our restless planet'. -- KIRKUS REVIEW
An atlas of the most extreme meteorological and geological disasters that nature has to offer!
We humans take our domination of the planet for granted, but sometimes nature reminds us that this is an illusion. Tectonics rip open the earth, vast waves sweep away coastal towns, magma spews from volcanoes and hurricanes lay waste to entire countries.
This book explores nature at its most destructive. Clear, coherent explanations break down the science behind phenomena includ- ing hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes, alongside fascinating facts about the biggest and the worst. Informative, accessible illustrations by Sophie Williams make this so much more than your standard geography book.
