A Good Book for Readers Interested in Earthquakes
COULD AN EARTHQUAKE SHAKE THE WHOLE WORLD, part of the Big Questions Answered series, tackles the topic of seismology. The book provides readers with a brief introduction to the topic of seismology and earthquakes.
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.
Perfect for young readers interested in earthquakes or natural disasters, COULD AN EARTHQUAKE SHAKE THE WHOLE WORLD explores the topic in a way that is appropriate for younger readers.
