Deadly Science – Earth’s Changing Surfaces takes students deep beneath the crust to uncover the powerful forces that have shaped—and continue to reshape—our planet. From ancient volcanic eruptions and shifting tectonic plates to modern erosion, desertification and climate change, this book explores the dynamic geological processes that form the world around us. What makes this learning journey uniquely Australian is the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge. For thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have observed changes in the land, recorded geological events in story and art, and used this wisdom to live sustainably with nature’s power. This title combines modern science with traditional understanding, helping readers develop a holistic perspective of Earth’s ongoing evolution. With a strong focus on inquiry and real-world application, students are encouraged to ask questions, interpret environmental change, and consider what it means to live in harmony with the natural world. Earth’s Changing Surfaces is an ideal resource for classrooms and young learners eager to explore the planet’s powerful inner workings.
