The rumble you hear may not be coming from the jungle but from right under your feet. If the plates start falling from your cupboards, it’s likely because the plates underground are moving and shifting. This is what causes earthquakes. Jones takes readers through the process of an earthquake. Full-color photos and interesting facts about tectonic plates, the lithosphere and the earth’s outer core will leave readers in awe. Graphs and maps of the earth show readers how amazing and deadly earthquakes can be, and how there is very little warning before one occurs. Readers will learn about areas that are frequently hit.
