Earthquakes shake rattle and roll
Earthquakes is a fun packed activity book about how and why earthquakes occur. The surface of the Earth is covered with crustal plates. You live on one of these plates as they move around on the surface of the Earth.
The activities in this book show how the Earth's plates can move upward, downward, and slip past another plate. All of these actions cause the plates where you live to shake, rattle, and roll.
