Description
Earth-Shattering Events is an atlas of the most extreme meteorological and geological disasters that nature has to offer!

'Featuring clear information about a comprehensive range of events, this colourful and fascinating guide is a real eye-opener.' - BookTrust
We humans take our domination of the planet for granted, but sometimes nature reminds us that this is an illusion. Tectonics rip open the earth, vast waves sweep away coastal towns, magma spews from volcanoes and hurricanes lay waste to entire countries.
This book explores nature at its most destructive. Clear, coherent explanations break down the science behind phenomena including hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes, alongside fascinating facts about the biggest and the worst. Informative, accessible illustrations by Sophie Williams make this so much more than your standard geography book.
