Earthquakes
We take for granted that the ground beneath us will stay where it is. When it begins to shift and shake, however, we're left to wonder why and how it happens. This fascinating book explains to your students plate tectonics, continental shift, the work of seismologists around the world, and how to stay safe if people find themselves in the midst of an earthquake.
