Product Description
Earthquakes are difficult to predict. One minute, everything is normal. The next, the ground rumbles enough to rattle dishes in the cupboard - or shakes so violently that buildings collapse. There's an earthquake somewhere on the earth every day. Big quakes can topple buildings, crumble homes, and threaten the lives of thousands of people. With dramatic images and firsthand survivor stories - plus the latest facts and figures - this book show you some of the world's earthquake disasters up close.
