volcanism

Geological change is rarely as dramatic and stunning than it is in the Hawaiian Islands. Beginning millions of years ago, volcanoes burst from the ocean to create the islands. Today, lava flows and landslides continue to reshape the land and sea. Readers will learn about the volcanic hot spot and shifting tectonic plates that created the chain of tropical islands. Vivid images including photographs of recent eruptions of the Kilauea volcano illustrate the changes still taking place.

Explains what volcanoes are and how they are studied, looks at types of volcanoes and eruptions, discusses the dangers associated with volcanoes, and includes profiles of major volcanoes around the world.

In this title, find out what the world may look like if a supervolcano erupts.

Shows how scientists measure volcanic activity.

Photographs and Spanish text introduce children to the world's volcanoes, discussing what volcanoes are, how they influence land formation, why they erupt, and other related topics.
