Description

---

Earthquakes, storms, and other disasters can cause massive damage that lasts for months or even years. This series explores the causes and aftermath of eight devastating disasters, as well as how areas are working to recover. Each book pairs short paragraphs of easy-to-read-text with plentiful photos and includes a table of contents, fun facts, sidebars, comprehension questions, a glossary, an index, and a list of resources for further reading. Apex books have low reading levels (grades 2-3) but are designed for older students, with interest levels of grades 3-7.
