Overview
The awesome display of power that is unleashed by many of the world's natural disasters has aroused both terror and curiosity foe centuries. This series of books looks at the history of natural disasters and their effects on mankind and the environment. Earthquakes happen when two plates of the Earth's crust rub against one another at a fault line. They can cause tremendous damage. This book examines their causes and effects. Avalanches and landslides can engulf and destroy towns and villages in just a few minutes, as huge masses of snow, rock or mud crash down from a mountain or hill side at high speed. Dramatic pictures illustrate this book which explain all aspects of these destructive powers.
