SCHOLASTIC Q &A: Why Do Volcanoes Blow Their Tops? Summary
| Whether children hear about volcanoes and earthquakes on television, learn about them at school, or live in vulnerable areas, they are amazed by ? and afraid of ? volcanoes and earthquakes. Kids want to know more about them, both to satisfy their curiosity and to ease their fears. This book explains everything about these natural disasters, from what happens just before a quake or eruption to how natural disasters help renew nature's landscape. Trivia-hungry readers will be amazed to learn that temperatures a few miles underground can reach 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, or that 6,780 earthquakes hit Japan on one day in 1966. They will learn about how a farmer digging in his field found the ancient city of Pompeii. |
