Summary

Praise for the previous edition:
"An excellent geological resource."—School Library Journal

"Erickson masterfully...intrigue[s] the reader with...thorough accounts of earthquakes, volcanoes, and tidal waves in all corners of the world..."—Booklist

"A work of wide appeal."—Choice

This revised edition of Quakes, Eruptions, and Other Geologic Cataclysms provides up-to-date coverage of the processes that produce natural catastrophes.

An introductory chapter details the dynamic forces at work beneath the Earth's crust, while the subsequent chapters—each dedicated to a single type of disaster—explain causes and myriad effects of these disturbances, enhanced with numerous examples. Photographs and line drawings depict the carnage wrought by these natural disasters, as well as what is happening to the Earth's surface while they occur.
