faults (geology)

It?s easy to think of Earth as one big rock beneath our feet. The reality is far more interesting! In this volume, young geologists will learn more about the makeup of our planet and the massive sheets of rock that move over its surface. Illustrations, photos, and intriguing hands-on projects will help them understand how Earth?s tectonic plates lead to features such as mountains and ocean trenches, as well as natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Provides an introduction to fault lines, examines the different types and how they create earthquakes, and explores some of the hotspots for earthquake activity.

"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.
