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.

School Library Journal - 11/01/2025 Gr 3–8—These information-rich texts about seismology cover the six zones in the United States where tectonic and other seismic activity is common. Simply written, but with lots of fresh vocabulary (like subduct and seismograph) these titles are packed with knowledge. There are explanatory maps of the tectonic plates, locations of volcanoes, and other diagrams. There are also primary source images from the affected areas of earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. The series explores the effects of climate change on seismic activity and the unexpected environmental impacts that can happen in its wake, like oil spills caused by earthquakes. Profiles of important seismologists and historical witnesses add a human aspect to these natural disasters. VERDICT An excellent choice for informatin that feels fresh and interesting. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
