Overview

This guide to the restless and violent world of volcanoes and earthquakes shows where and why they happen, how they can be predicted and how they affect plant and animal life. The book analyzes every type of volcano and eathquake to show what is happening and why. Specially-built 3-D models and artwork illustrate lava flows, black smokers, a volcanic eruption on one of Jupiter's moons, and a slice through the earth's crust reveal the turmoil below. What happened to Pompeii when Vesuvius erupted and when Krakatoa all but disappeared in 1883 are observed as well as what to do in an earthquake, how geysers are formed and what causes a tidal wave.
