About the Book

How do mountains grow underwater? Why does the "Ring of Fire" feature so many volcanoes? Why might the island of Surtsey soon disappear? This series explores the causes and effects that shape our world. From the underwater volcanoes that sprout into islands, to the rushing waterfalls that spark electric currents, this series demonstrates how both natural and man-made phenomena occur.

Review :
How Does a Volcano Become an Island? is filled with interesting facts about how islands are formed. It's part of an interesting, low-cost series of paperbacks that answer key topical questions in the Earth sciences; the text, photos, and graphical elements will attract readers. Students in grades two through five will enjoy the easy-to-read font size and style, with important words in bold. Photos are clearly labeled with sentence captions, and sidebars feature key questions and interesting information. There are many great resources in this nonfiction text to help students with research reports, and there is an extensive glossary. The "Find Out More" section includes lists of websites and books, an index, and a contents page. The photographs in the text are stunning and will keep readers' interest, and the fact boxes found throughout will engage readers with intriguing bits of information. I would recommend this series to both classroom teachers and librarians. - Tracy Alley NSTA Recommends website posted 11/12/2011-- "NSTA Recommends" Reluctant readers in the upper elementary grades should be shown this terrific series which captures students' attention with intriguing questions and bright, vivid photographs. Each chapter is covered in a double-paged spread with multi-colored backgrounds, text boxes, and captivating photographs. Graphs and diagrams are presented simply to help the reader understand the concepts. Vocabulary terms are in bold to alert the reader that their definitions are found in the glossary. Younger readers will enjoy having sections read aloud and all student researchers will find the information contained in each book useful for assigned projects and answering questions they have about the world around them.
