Description

This book discusses how geologists study rocks to learn more about Earth, from how it was formed to how it has changed, and examines the causes of earthquakes, volcanoes, and other Earth-shaking disasters.

Quick Summary

Gray takes readers on a rock-solid journey through Earth's geological wonders, revealing how the ground beneath our feet holds secrets about our planet's wild past. They'll discover how scientists crack the code of ancient earthquakes, explode myths about volcanoes, and use rocks like time capsules to uncover millions of years of Earth's dramatic history. If your kid loves the interactive mystery-solving in Magic Tree House books or the hands-on experiments in National Geographic Kids guides, they'll be hooked on this insider look at how real geologists work. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 6 who are curious about science, nature, or just want to understand why the ground sometimes shakes.
