Anatomy of a Volcanic Eruption

by Amie Jane Leavitt

Book Overview

As destroyers of cities and creators of islands, volcanoes are as unique as they are destructive. Whether they spew thick ash or pack heavy lava flows, their eruptions are always a force to be reckoned with. Explore the explosive workings of volcanoes, the techniques scientists use to study them, and how people live in the shadows of these explosive landforms.
