Publisher's Synopsis
The Earth is a dynamic entity, continually shifting and moving. Though it supports life, the Earth is a restless planet capable of powerful destruction. The new, colorfully illustrated set ""The Restless Earth"" introduces essential geology topics - such as plate tectonics, erosion, and deposition - to readers and details the forces that are both powerful and potentially destructive on the third planet from the sun. Each highly readable title features full-color photographs and illustrations that lend visual interest to understanding these topics. This essential set for young readers was developed in collaboration with the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia, a leader in science learning.
