Earthquakes

When the ground suddenly shakes, everyday items can rattle and fall, reminding us how powerful natural forces can be. The book explains how earthquakes form, why they cause so much damage, and what scientists and communities do to protect people. Featuring clear photos, a map, a formation diagram, and a Richter scale chart, the text makes the science accessible for early readers. Young readers will learn the basics of earthquake behavior and the steps taken to reduce danger.
