Earthquakes reshape Earth! / by Light, Charlie,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (page 31) and index.What is an earthquake? -- Earth's layers -- Energy causes earthquakes -- Body waves -- Surface waves -- Measuring earthquakes -- Tectonic earthquakes -- Plate boundaries -- Volcanic earthquakes-- Humans can cause earthquakes -- Effects of earthquakes -- Earthquakes cause disaster -- Earthquake engineering."Earthquakes are among the heaviest hitters in the world of natural phenomena that shape our planet. Not only can they cause massive amounts of damage on their own-they can also cause other disasters, such as tsunamis and avalanches! Daring readers of this volume will learn all about how and why earthquakes occur. They'll encounter key science concepts such as the tectonic plates theory and the Richter scale. Graphic organizers and interesting sidebars break down difficult concepts into easy-to-comprehendsections while vivid photographs will captivate even reluctant readers"--

Titan of the stars / by Johnston, E. K.,author.(CARDINAL)349872;
"Titanic meets Aliens in this tense YA science fiction horror series by #1 New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston. Celeste knows every inch of this ship. She's proud of her work as apprentice engineer. And as the maiden voyage of the Titan launches, she's optimistic for the promises of this new journey from Earth to Mars -- this new life. Dominic arrives at his suite where his valet is busy unpacking his things. His chest is tight, already feeling anxious inside his dad's precious new ship. Once it launches, he's trapped, inside the ship and inside the life his father has chosen for him -- a life that will leave his dreams of art school behind. Discovered under melted ice caps, ancient aliens have been brought onto the Titan as well, and stored in display cases for the entertainment of the passengers . . . until an act of sabotage releases them into the ship, with zero discrimination for class, decks or human life . . ."--
