Summary

"Rumbles echo beneath the ground, ash clouds fill the air, and red-hot magma spews into the sky. This is the explosive life of volcanoes, nature's fiery giants. Some are snow-covered mountaintops that sleep soundlessly, while others are endlessly erupting bowls of fire. Explore crashing tectonic plates, smoking underwater seamounts, and volcanoes in outer space, along with legends of fiery-tempered gods and dramatic works of art. Welcome to a realm of destruction and creation, and discover how these remarkable natural wonders power and shape our world."--
