The Geography Collection: Within the Earth

This is the third option book available in this series. It follows the same user-friendly format, incorporating all the special design features of key ideas, questions, a decision-making exercise and project suggestions. The focus is on the earth's geological background, with reference to continental drift and the scientific evidence for plate tectonics. Then the geographical applications of this, in relation to ocean basins, plates and plate boundary hazards and uses are explored. Finally, the formation and scenery of specific tectonic landscapes, including Britain's, are examined. The decision-making exercise concentrates on earthquakes and planning for disasters.
