More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
This work is for ages 7-14. Awesome and destructive forces are unleashed when soil, mud, and snow are on the move. This book looks at the causes and effects, places in danger, and how people cope with these disasters. This book features amazing full-colour photographs that feature "famous disasters". Topics include: how ancient peoples predicted avalanches, and the equipment that meteorologists use to predict natural disasters today; how people can recognise signs of danger and techniques to stay safe during a natural disaster; the aftermath of landslides and avalanches, including the rebuilding of destroyed homes and the rescue of injured people; step-by-step explanation of how avalanches and landslides occur; a science experiment to help children understand the path of destruction of an avalanche or landslide.
