The Earth experiences more than 3,000 earthquakes a year, causing the deaths of over 10,000 people. Earthquakes can suddenly destroy everything we take for granted, including homes, schools, hospitals, shops and roads. This book tells you what earthquakes are, when and where they occur, and looks at how people cope when they happen and what can be done to prevent their devastating effects in the future.
