erosion

The natural forces of our world are always at work on the planet we call home. Over millions of years, the forces of erosion have worked through wind, water, sand, and more to create the many features of Earth, from the worn-away banks of the smallest creek to the stunning landmark that is the Grand Canyon. This title will take readers on a journey through Earth's long history of erosion, using color illustrations and intriguing hands-on projects to show them just how interesting this geologic force really is.

People from all over the world come to explore Niagara: among them the daredevils determined to tumble down or walk across the falls on tightrope. Learn about the hare-brained stunts and how the falls were formed and how--one day--they will disappear.

Everything is connected on Earth, even if we can't see it right away. Biogeology is the study of the important and sometimes weird relationships between living things and the Earth itself. Young readers might know how beavers dam rivers to make ponds, but they probably don't know about the hungry bacteria that eat rocks to make sparkly minerals like pyrite.

Weathering and erosion have helped shaped many of Earth's most famous landforms, from the Grand Canyon to the Cliffs of Moher. Readers will get an in-depth look at how these fascinating processes are able to transform the surfaces of the world. Eye-catching photographs and stimulating sidebars help readers develop a deeper understanding of the informative narrative. Explanatory graphic organizers reinforce key concepts and support important aspects of elementary science curricula, including the Next Generation Science Standards.

"In this nonfiction text, readers are introduced to earth science as they learn what erosion is and what causes it"--Provided by publisher.

Featuring live action and animation, this movie examines the history and current state of the living organic matter that we come from and will later return to.
