"A Weldon Owen production"--P. facing t.p.
Discusses the structure and movement of the earth's surface, and describes earthquakes and volcanoes, how they are measured, and their aftereffects.
Answers to the questions: What is a volcano and what happens when they erupt? What is an earthquake and why does the earth shake?
This book is part of the Nature Company Discoveries library, a dynamic new reference series for children. Atmospheric illustrations, strong photographs and lively text engage and encourage readers to discover for themselves the world around them. A four-page foldout in each title reveals a dramatic, and perhaps unexpected, perspective.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis don't happen every day, so how can budding scientists study how they work? Through experiments, models, and demonstrations. This in-depth resource will teach readers how to build a seismograph to record a simulated earthquake, compare pressure waves and shear waves—the two types of ground shocks—using a Slinky, and replicate a tsunami's destructive effect on a &“coastline&” built in a bathtub. Authors Matthys Levy and Mario Salvadori even discuss issues of modern architecture and civil engineering: how science can be used to protect buildings and property in earthquake-prone areas. Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis answers a wide array of questions about these phenomena. Can animals &“predict&” earthquakes? How have various cultures explained the movement of the earth throughout history? What is the Richter scale, and what does it tell us about the strength of a quake? And most important, readers will learn how to earthquake-proof their homes, and how to protect themselves should they experience a tremor.
A comprehensive guide for students and researchers to the physical processes inside volcanoes that control eruption frequency, duration, and size.
Presents an introduction to volcanoes and earthquakes, explaining how the movement of the Earth's interior plates cause their formation and describing the volcanoes which currently exist around the world as well as some of the famous earthquakes of the nineteenth through twenty-first cenuturies.
Learn all about these natural disasters, their destructive impact and how they form. Find out how long eruptions last, what tectonic plates are and why these natural phenomena occur.
