Plate Tectonics: A Ladybird Expert Book

Discover how our planet works from the inside out




An accessible and authoritative introduction to Plate Tectonics for adult readers

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Plate Tectonics is an accessible and authoritative introduction to what really goes on under the ground beneath our feet.

Written by the celebrated geologist, lecturer and scientific presenter Iain Stewart, Plate Tectonics explores the Earth's building blocks and the geophysical theory that changed the way we look at the world.

You'll learn about the puzzle pieces that make up the Earth today, monsoon-like currents in our planet's radioactive core, magnetic force lines and how the ocean would look without water.
