How the Earth Works: Discover How Plate Tectonics Shapes Our Planet

Plate tectonics explains why mountains rise, why the ground shakes and why continents do not stay where they are, and Lucia Perez-Diaz sets that machinery out for young readers. The book follows the Earth's surface across millions of years, linking volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain ranges back to the movement beneath them. Written by a working Earth scientist, it keeps the explanations short and lets the illustrations do real explanatory work, so a reader can follow a process rather than just memorise a term. A rundown of the contents: • Covers volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain building and continental drift • Written by an Earth scientist for a young audience • Diagrams and cross-sections used to show processes in stages • Language pitched for children and early secondary students Suitable for curious children, school science work and parents looking for accurate material on how the planet behaves.
