Take a trip around the world to see amazing desert landscapes.
Lava shoots in the air, then bubbles down mountains, flattening,
burning and boiling everything in its path. The destructive forces
of volcanoes are terrifying and well-known. But what about their
other forces? Volcanoes can spur new growth of plants and trees. In
the water, they create an environment where coral reefs and sea
life can thrive. In fact, the meeting of volcanic fire and ocean
water gave way to life on Earth. Award-winning children's science
author Mary M. Cerullo brings her excellent research and signature
storytelling style to the dynamic subject of volcanoes. Stitching
together science, history and mythology, Cerullo explores these
explosive wonders of nature and reveals the secrets they've been
keeping since the beginning of the world.
