Earthquake Science
Paperback

, 1 (color) edition
(Color edition) Slowly, the tectonic plates are moving. Somewhere deep beneath your feet, the rock inside the Earth are squeezing. Someday they might suddenly break and slip, sending waves of energy through the rock, shaking the ground, and knocking over buildings. Scientists and engineers work together to figure out which areas are at risk of earthquakes, to build buildings that will not fall down, and to design special warning systems. If you understand how earthquakes work, you can be prepared, too. All of this is real science, written at a level that kids can read and understand. At the end of the book, you will find a self-quiz to test your new knowledge and fun hands-on activities that build on the science. Judith Hubbard is a geology professor with a Ph.D. from Harvard University and a B.S. from Caltech - and also two young children. She started the In Depth Science series with the goal of making college-level science accessible to kids as young as eight years old.
