plate tectonics

Have you ever noticed how some continents seem like they could fit together like puzzle pieces? That's because millions of years ago they did. This exciting book dives deep to explain the action-packed science of tectonic plates. Colorful maps point out where to find the Earth's major and minor tectonic plates. Dramatic photographs and vivid diagrams show what happens when they collide. Curious readers will love this high-interest take on geology because even when standing still, the ground beneath our feet is slowly on the move.

"In this book, early fluent readers will learn about the features of tectonic plates, how they have shaped Earth's surface in the past, and how they could change Earth in the future. Color photos and carefully leveled text will engage young readers as they learn more about tectonic plates and their impact on our planet"--Provided by publisher.

This book goes into great detail about the different layers of our Earth and how the shifting tectonic plates can cause disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. In depth information and great photographs reinforce the informative text.

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

Explains what tectonics plate are, how they shift to create land formations, and how volcanoes and earthquakes are caused by shifting plates.

Clear text, photographs, and graphics provide an introduction to topics related to plate tectonics and natural disasters.

Explores the work of Alfred Wegener, focusing on his theory of plate tectonics and how it has influenced the study of landforms.

Volcanes ofrecen ma?s de un show espectacular al explotar. Tambie?n son pistas sobre lo que ocurre en la superficie de la Tierra. El texto presenta conceptos cienti?ficos fundamentales, tales como el calor y la presio?n, mientras que explican co?mo los distintos tipos de volcanes contribuir a paisajes de la Tierra.

Presents information on earthquakes and their effect on planet Earth, giving specific examples from around the world.
