Books with title Earth's Cycles

The Earth is round like a ball and it moves in circular motions. It changes in patterns that go round and round like the wheels of a bike. So begins EARTH CYCLES, a book that describes three of the cyclical phenomena created by the movement of Earth. Day to night to day and back again is one cycle, and the cycle of the moon gradually moving from a sliver to a giant disk and back again is another. The seasons’ never-ending cycle of spring to summer to fall to winter to spring again is the third. The book offers the scientific reason behind each of the cycles while at the same time providing an overview of the wondrous order of our planet.

Many cycles occur on Earth that keep Earth's different systems connected. Introduce students to the various elements that help create Earth's many cycles. Create an interest in this topic and keep students engaged throughout their reading with high-interest text, vibrant images and diagrams, engaging facts, an easy-to-navigate table of contents, and a helpful glossary and index. To bring concepts to life, a "Think Like a Scientist" activity that supports STEM instruction is included at the end of the e-book.

"This fascinating book explains the patterns and cycles created on Earth by the influence of the Sun and the Moon, as well as by the Earth's magnetic poles and the planet's rotation on an axis. Informative text, vivid photographs, and detailed diagrams help explain patterns such as day and night, the four seasons, the lunar cycle, the rise and fall of tides, and weather cycles"--

Essential to life, water can be found in different forms all around us. This important book explains how the Earths supply of water moves from bodies of water, to the atmosphere, and to land in a process called the water cycle . Accessible text and detailed images help explain such processes as transpiration, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, as well as the important roles of sunlight and gravity in the water cycle. Feature boxes highlight examples of the ways in which human activity creates shortages of clean water and interferes with the water cycle. Readers are encouraged to find ways to take action and find solutions.
