Fire and Ice: The Volcanoes of the Solar System
Categories: Science & Math
Geologist Natalie Starkey explores volcanoes across the solar system, from Earth to distant moons. Starkey explains how volcanoes form and erupt on Earth, then looks at volcanic activity on the Moon, Mars, Venus, Jupiter's moon Io and the icy moons of the outer planets, where cryovolcanoes erupt water and ice. She shows what volcanoes reveal about how planets work. The book was first published in 2021.
