The series aims not only to answer, but also to inspire questions about different environments and landscapes, and our relationship with some of the greatest forces of nature we experience on Earth.
Photographs bring the effects of the subject vividly to life, while diagrams enhance students' practical understanding of the processes that have created the landscapes of the world in which we live today.

Earthquakes and Volcanoes

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are two of the most fascinating, spectacular and devastating characteristics of our planet. This book explains how volcanoes are formed, what causes them to erupt and what happens during an eruption; it also investigates the causes and effects of earthquakes, and how people live in the shadow of these constant threats. The book also discusses the scientific study of both these features: how we anticipate their occurrence and how their impact is measured.
