On average, Magnitude 2 and smaller earthquakes occur several hundred times a day worldwide. \u003ci\u003eVolcanoes and Earthquakes\u003c\/i\u003e explores the massive natural forces from within the Earth that greatly affect its surface, often with dramatic and long-lasting consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in an accessible style, and fully illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps, the book explains the violence of earthquakes and volcanoes that impact humankind, and the gradual continental drift and mountain building that have transformed the Earth over the 4.5 billion years of its existence.

The last chapter examines the changes in the tectonic processes that link the Earth's mass, water, atmosphere, and life, including the effects on climate, sea-level, and the distribution of plant and animal species. \u003ci\u003eVolcanoes and Earthquakes\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful reminder of the impact of natural forces on our everyday lives.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50964044513568,"sku":"9781588346551","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781588346551.jpg?v=1764012595","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/volcanoes-and-earthquakes","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
