| Abstract
|
:
|
Though the Earth's outermost shell is comprised of tectonic plates that are constantly shifting underneath our feet, the ground is usually quiet and still. But sometimes, an earthquake rocks the ground or an explosive volcanic blast causes destruction to surrounding areas. This title explains what triggers earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
