Earth shaking facts

After our class felt Seattle's earthquake, I found this book. The kids were captivated to learn more about what makes the ground shake. You can also find out how long the longest recorded quake was, why soldiers break step when crossing small bridges, what special equipment rescuers use, what building shape is very strong, and read earthquake legends. There's a brief explanation of the Richter scale and experiments you can do. This book was hard to find on our class book shelf because someone was always reading it.
