3 Children's Science Books From the Mid 90s
These were all hardcovers.
One was about weather and natural disasters. I can't remember what the cover looked like. I think each topic spanned two pages. The main illustration for each section also spanned two pages. I remember sections about earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis. The illustration for the tsunami section had a giant wave striking a Japanese town. The book also talked about Pangaea.
The second book had "natural world" somewhere in the title. It also talked about weather and natural disasters, but had sections about rocks, glaciers, and water too. Like the last one, I can't remember the cover.
The third book was about the history of life on Earth. I *want* to say there was a mammoth on the cover. Like the weather book, each section and accompanying illustration spanned two pages. It's possible they're both by the same publisher. I remember a section about animals from North and South America meeting for the first time, and a section on early humans.
I'm sorry if this is too little to go on. These books were important to me, and I've been racking my brain trying to come up with as many details as possible.

For your third one - Dorling Kindersley are the one that I remember doing more complex encyclopaedias - we had one on space, and it was four or five cm thick, and large. A google image search for "dorling kindersley history of life on earth" finds one that has a mammoth as one of the images, but it will be the newer cover, and I haven't managed to find older versions of the cover.

I Found Them All!
The first book was called "The Golden Book of Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Powerful Storms". The second was "Explore the World of Forces of Nature". The third was "After the Dinosaurs-The Story of Prehistoric Mammals and Man". I recognized them as soon as I saw the covers, and looking through them really brought back memories.
