Clean, bright images grace the pages of this book. The images are carefully drawn with clean lines. There’s not a lot of details in the background as the foreground is the main focus, but that suits the book very well.

As an introduction to the topic of seismology, this book tackles earthquakes as a natural disaster. It shows the destruction that earthquakes can have on buildings and countries as well as possible effects it could have too. The book also discusses how seismologists use predictions and past earthquakes to figure out when other earthquakes will occur. There are even tips on how to stay safe during an earthquake.

The very back of the book also provides additional information related to the study of seismology and a glossary for difficult words that the younger readers may not be familiar with.
