Alaska-Aleutian megathrust [U.S. Seismic Zones]by Haynes, Danielle 

BTSB Prebound(PowerKids, 2026)


Publication Date: 08/01/2025

BTSB #: 429212 In Bindery

Dewey: 551.8/NAges: 9-12   


Subjects: Earthquakes - Alaska - Aleutian Islands Volcanoes - Alaska - Aleutian Islands Faults (Geology) Plate tectonics Seismology


Summary: The Alaska-Aleutian Megathrust is a seldom-visited area of the world where some of Earth's most powerful earthquakes, known as megathrusts, occur. This volatile arc of islands in the northern Pacific Ocean was created by a subduction zone between two of Earth's tectonic plates. The volcanic activity there has created countless earthquakes and tsunamis over the centuries.

Cascade Range [U.S. Seismic Zones]by Roza, Greg 

BTSB Prebound(PowerKids, 2026)


Publication Date: 08/15/2025

BTSB #: 769363 In Bindery

Dewey: 551.2209/NAges: 9-12   


Subjects: Faults (Geology) - Cascade Range Cascadia Subduction Zone


Summary: The Cascade Range stretches from Northern California, through Oregon and Washington States, and into southern British Columbia. This line of mountains was created over the course of thousands of years by a subduction zone between Earth's tectonic plates. The two highest peaks of the range, Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Hood, are volcanoes that have experienced recent volcanic activity. Learn more about these two mountains and others that make up the Cascade Range.

Hawaiian Archipelago [U.S. Seismic Zones]by Haynes, Danielle 

BTSB Prebound(PowerKids, 2026)


Publication Date: 08/01/2025

BTSB #: 429278 In Bindery

Dewey: 551.1/NAges: 9-12   


Subjects: Earthquakes Volcanoes Plate tectonics Seismology


Summary: Hawaii is a chain of islands that formed in the Pacific Ocean due to volcanic activity. The Pacific plate moves very slowly over a hot spot in Earth's mantle. This caused a string of islands known as an archipelago to form. Over the course of many centuries, one island would form over the hot spot, but the plate would move, allowing a new island to form. Older islands have been worn away and sink back into the ocean in time.

New Madrid Seismic Zone [U.S. Seismic Zones]by Roza, Greg 

BTSB Prebound(PowerKids, 2026)


Publication Date: 08/15/2025

BTSB #: 769359 In Bindery

Dewey: 551.8/NAges: 9-12   


Subjects: Earthquakes Faults (Geology) Plate tectonics Seismology Earthquakes - Missouri New Madrid Seismic Zone


Summary: Most seismic zones form where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates meet. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is different from most because it is situated over a fault line in the middle of a tectonic plate. The Reelfoot Rift is a weak line in the North American plate under the states of Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas. A series of destructive earthquakes occurred between 1811 and 1812, and more followed throughout the 1800s.

Puerto Rico Trench [U.S. Seismic Zones]by Haynes, Danielle 

BTSB Prebound(PowerKids, 2026)


Publication Date: 08/01/2025

BTSB #: 429532 In Bindery

Dewey: 551.8/NAges: 9-12   


Subjects: Submarine trenches Plate tectonics Seismology Puerto Rico


Summary: As its name suggests, the Puerto Rico Trench can be found in the Atlantic Ocean just north of the island of Puerto Rico. This trench is a result of the movement of several of Earth's tectonic plates in the area, primarily the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. Once, millions of years ago, there was volcanic activity along this trench. While that danger is no longer a problem, Puerto Rico and surrounding islands are prone to earthquakes and tsunamis.

San Andreas Fault [U.S. Seismic Zones]by Roza, Greg 

BTSB Prebound(PowerKids, 2026)


Publication Date: 08/15/2025

BTSB #: 769591 In Bindery

Dewey: 551.2209/NAges: 9-12   


Subjects: Earthquakes - California - History Earthquakes Seismology San Andreas Fault (Calif.) - History


Summary: The San Andreas Fault forms part of the border between two of Earth's tectonic plates: the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This location has experienced significant and frequent seismic activity throughout recorded history. Scientists have discovered that one area of the fault in California creates a significant earthquake once every 22 years. Other areas have also suffered devastating earthquakes over the years, including devastating quakes in 1906 and 1989.
