In some parts of the world, Earth's four seasons are very different. Some places don't experience much of a change in seasons at all. This book explains the science behind the changing of the seasons. The features of each season are explained in the context of the Earth's position relative to the sun. Age-appropriate text, full-color photographs, and infographics demystify this complex topic. Readers will learn about our yearly journey around the sun.

"Weathering is when rocks break down into sediment due to natural processes, while erosion is when natural agencies (such as wind and water) carry sediment to another place. This book explains the different types of weathering and erosion and how these processes work together. Information on how humans can combat these natural but destructive processes is also covered. Color photographs show weathering and erosion in action, while a helpful diagram explains how they work together to create the world around us"--

When winter hits, many people in colder climates spend most of their time indoors. But what do wild animals do? Some animals spend winters hibernating. Beginning readers will learn what hibernation is, why some animals hibernate and others don't, and how hibernating animals prepare for their long sleep. Full-color photographs grab readers' attention and allow them to draw connections to the narrative. Readers will love learning about this mysterious, restful time in some animals' lives.

"Although Earth is mostly made up of igneous and metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock covers about 75 percent of Earth's land surface. This means it's the most visible kind of rock on Earth. Sedimentary rocks form when sediment accumulates and compacts. In this book, readers will learn how sedimentary rocks form, the different types of sedimentary rocks, how people use sedimentary rocks, and more. Fun fact boxes provide readers with additional information, while a helpful diagram shows more about how sedimentary rocks form"--

"Rainy days might make some people sad. But while you might not want to get caught out in a downpour, Earth needs rain! Rain is responsible for keeping our plants healthy, giving us drinking water, and giving us a way to cool off when it's hot. In this book, readers will learn each step of the water cycle, one of Earth's most important processes, and where rain fits in. Photographs and a simple diagram depict the water cycle in action. Reading this book will give readers a new appreciation of rainy days"--

"The rock cycle has been taking place for millions of years. However, geologists- scientists who study rocks and layers of soil to learn about the history of the earth and its life-have only known about this phenomenon for about 300 years. In this book, readers are introduced to the different types of rocks, where in the cycle these rocks fit, and where in Earth's layers each step takes place. Fact boxes provide readers with fun additional information, while a diagram helps readers make sense of the information presented in the text"--
