Lets Read And Find Out Science Earthquakes Stage 2

Read and find out about one of nature's most mysterious forces-the earthquake. Some earthquakes are so small that you don't even feel them, while others can make even big buildings shake! Learn why earthquakes happen, where they are most likely to occur, and what to do if one happens near you. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal Grade 2-4-A slightly larger format and new, colorful illustrations and diagrams accompany the original 1990 text in this new edition. The simple, easy-to-read narrative describes the causes and effects of earthquakes (including a tsunami) and safety measures to be taken during one. New additions include a page of earthquake facts, a list of the 10 most destructive (as determined by the number of fatalities), and a Web site. A nice update, if your old copy is suffering from circulation fatigue.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright å¨ Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Some of the paintings feature children demonstrating wave-related activities and earthquake safety procedures, but the most effective pictures are those that show the unseen and unseeable, such as cross-sections of mountains, volcanoes, and faults in the earth's moving crust. One double-page spread concerns a 1939 earthquake off the Chilean coast that resulted in a tsunami. From the dependable Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, this book explains what earthquakes are and what to do when they occur. Carolyn Phelan Copyright å© American Library Association.
