Explains how volcanoes are created under the oceans, how mountains form, and how land changes shape through erosion and weathering.

Presents an introduction to continental drift and plate tectonics, in simple text with illustrations, including information on the structure of the earth, the theory of plate tectonics, and the hazards caused by plate movements.

Explains how mountains are formed through plate tectonics and worn down by millions of years of rain, wind, and ice.
