Synopsis

Glowing lava, towering mountains, and powerful eruptions make volcanoes some of the most dramatic features on Earth. Filled with beautiful real-life photographs and engaging nonfiction facts, VOLCANOES! introduces curious readers to these incredible landforms and the forces that shape them.

Discover the difference between magma and lava, why some volcanoes erupt explosively while others are gentler, how volcanic rocks and lava tubes form, and how volcanic activity can create islands, fertile soil, hot springs, and geysers.

Inside you'll discover:

  • How volcanoes can be active, dormant, or extinct and can form on land or beneath the ocean
  • Why eruptions can behave differently depending on the magma involved
  • How magma becomes lava and how cooled lava forms rocks such as pumice and obsidian
  • How volcanic activity creates features including lava tubes, new islands, hot springs, geysers, and crater lakes
  • Why the Pacific Ring of Fire contains many active volcanoes and how volcanic ash and gases can affect areas far away

This large 8.25" x 8.25" photo book features beautiful full-color images printed on premium paper, making it a wonderful way for curious readers to enjoy a focused, screen-free exploration of volcanoes and our dynamic Earth.
