An examination of the Earth's layers, covering the crust, mantle, and core.

Explores what the geological layers of the Earth are, how they formed, and methods scientists use to study them. Includes fun activities for readers to do, as well as illustrations, photographs, and a glossary.

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.

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

Early fluent readers will learn about the features of supervolcanoes, how they have shaped Earth's surface in the past, and the possibilities of them changing the future of life on Earth.
