Earthquakes Reshape Earth!

by Charlie Light

Overview

Earthquakes are among the heaviest hitters in the world of natural phenomena that shape our planet. Not only can they cause massive amounts of damage on their own, they can also cause other disasters, such as tsunamis and avalanches. Daring readers will learn how and why earthquakes occur. They'll encounter key science concepts such as the tectonic plates theory and the Richter scale. Graphic organizers and interesting sidebars summarize difficult concepts into easy-to-comprehend sections while vivid photographs capture readers' attention.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2020

Gr 3–6—An engrossing and enlightening look at the processes that change our planet. Each title contains 11 to 13 short chapters, which are two to four pages long. There is a significant amount of information, which increases the usefulness of this series for an older audience. Spreads feature two paragraphs of text on the verso page and a full-page photograph or diagram with a descriptive caption and text box on the recto page. The layout makes the series suitable for struggling readers. A glossary, further reading, and an index are included. VERDICT A first purchase for upper-elementary science collections.
