 | How Mountains Are Made by James G. Hale, Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld
This new title in the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out series explains how mountains are slowly created over millions of years, due to the earth's surface resting on plates that move over our planet's molten center at the speedy rate of three inches per year. The motion of the plates as they push and pull against each other cause the earth to buckle, creating mountains. Diagrams and maps are included. AUTHOR: James G. Hale, Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld
