Could Earthquakes Shake the Whole World?

Description

Could An Earthquake Shake the Whole World? is an informative book that presents the title question, then explores this idea through the science of seismology (the study of earthquakes) and key terms and examples that relate to this (definitions are included in the back of the book for words such as magnitude, landslides, natural disasters, tsunami, fault lines, plate boundaries, etc.). Based on select information and examples from the past and present, readers aren’t left hanging, and the question is answered (you’ll have to read the book to find out what it is).

I enjoyed reading and learning from this book because it explores and answers a question that could be a realistic concern to some people. The text and information provided aren’t too “science-y” for younger readers; it’s factual and easy to understand. The illustrations are colorful, full-page, and enhance the reading experience.
