The World In Motion

Fault Lines, Tectonic Plates, Earthquakes and The Power That Shapes The Planet

Our planet is in motion—can you feel it?

Our World in Motion: Fault Lines, Tectonic Plates, Earthquakes and The Power That Shapes The Planet is a compelling and easy-to-understand guide to the dynamic forces shaping the Earth beneath our feet. Aimed at curious teens, science-minded students, and adventurous readers, this book brings to life the science of plate tectonics, the mystery of major fault lines, and the raw energy of earthquakes.

Inside you'll explore:

• How Earth’s tectonic plates move—and why they matter

• The three major types of plate boundaries (convergent, divergent, and transform)

• Iconic fault zones like the San Andreas, North Anatolian, and Alpine Faults

• Real earthquake case studies and how they changed our understanding of geology

• How scientists study seismic activity using satellites, sensors, and models

• What the future holds in a world of shifting plates and growing urban risk

Written in engaging prose with clear visuals and diagrams, Our World in Motion is ideal for classrooms, homeschoolers, and independent young learners. If you've ever wondered what causes continents to drift or earthquakes to shake the ground, this book delivers the answers—with awe and accuracy.
