An exciting look at two of nature's most thrilling and dangerous forces.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be in an earthquake, or close to a volcano with it erupts? With lots of flaps to lift, this book takes you on a tour of shaking cities and rumbling volcanoes to discover why these forces happen, how they shape our planet, and how people live in places where they strike.

An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity, from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt, to those violent enough to propel objects and people into the air, damage critical infrastructure, and wreak destruction across entire cities.

volcanic eruption, an eruption of molten rock, hot rock fragments, and hot gases through a volcano, which is a vent in a planet’s or satellite’s crust. Volcanic eruptions can cause disastrous loss of life and property. They range from relatively gentle eruptions, as typically seen in Hawaiian volcanoes, to massively destructive ones, such as the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in 79 CE.
