Join us on a fiery tour of volcanoes around the world! Each ferocious volcano is brought to life with fact files and labelled diagrams.

In this follow-up to Space Atlas, Ocean Atlas, Dinosaur Atlas, and Endangered Animals Atlas, readers will be taken on a journey around the globe and across the oceans, discovering the most spectacular, historic, and unusual volcanoes and volcanic regions in the world.

Marvel at the eruption of Vesuvius that buried Pompeii, the lake of lava found at Erta Ale, the 450 volcanoes located in the Ring of Fire, and the hidden power of the Yellowstone supervolcano, quietly waiting to erupt.

On this Amazing Adventure, readers will discover how volcanoes are formed, the most significant volcanic eruptions of the past, and the potentially destructive eruptions of the future.

* How are volcanoes formed?
* What different types of volcanoes are there?
* What is the most destructive eruption that has ever happened?
* What is blue lava and how is it formed?

This expansive guide to volcanoes and volcanic eruptions answers all these questions and more, as readers journey around the world and marvel at the power it holds. Make geography fun and support school learning by bringing explosive, volcanic excitement to their reading!
