Why the earth quakes

Frontcover
3 Rezensionen
W. W. Norton & Company, 01.02.1997 - 215 Seiten
We expect anything to move, but not the earth! And we certainly do not expect mountains to throw the earth's innards into the sky! Nothing is as frightening as to feel the earth shake under our feet or to see flaming lava spew from unknown depths, moving mercilessly towards us. The aim of the authors of this book, who have personally experienced such terrifying catastrophes, is to demystify their causes and to explain in layman's terms not only their origins but how, at long last, we may defend ourselves from the powerful assaults of earthquakes and volcanoes. By exploring the miracle of the universe's creation, Why the Earth Quakes leads the reader through a brief, fascinating voyage to the birth and growth of our planet with its cracked and constantly shifting crust.

Review: Why the Earth Quakes: The Story of Earthquakes and Volcanoes

Nutzerbericht  - Jen - Goodreads

Even though this book is aimed at adults, I devoured it as a curious fourth-grader. If your kid is a budding geology nerd, this book is written at a popular level that they will mostly understand and enjoy. Don't hold them back with condescending titles aimed at young children.
