Captain Rip Rayon and his crew discover that there is a whole lot of shaking going on.

Take a new look at Earth through the eyes of a zany band of intergalactic adventurers. Zooming in to investigate, Captain Rip Rayon and his crew discover that there is a whole lot of shaking going on. And when you beam aboard on this global fact-finding mission, you'll witness volcanoes oozing 2,000-degree lava; Yellowstone's bubbling mud pots and geysers; deep sea vents, home to creepy tube worms; California's earthquake "danger zone"; and tsunamis, giant killer waves that can rage as fast as a 500-mph jet plane. These fascinating discoveries and more are right beneath your feet in Explosive Earth, just one of the Amazing Planet adventures from National Geographic.—Paul Gerard Kennedy
