Books with title The Water Cycle at Work

This title is intended for ages 6-10. All life on Earth depends on the water cycle! This is a fascinating book that introduces children to this important cycle using a clear, step-by step approach. Kids will learn about how different processes, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and run-off, work together to move water from the ground to the air and then back down again. Full-colour diagrams and beautiful images accompany clear text to help make the water cycle come alive for kids as they learn: how plants contribute to the water cycle through transpiration; how water trapped underground for thousands of years remains part of the water cycle; the importance of water to all living things; and, ways in which people can help protect Earth's water and keep it clean.

Water is essential for life, but where does it come from? This exciting book dives into that question to explain to readers exactly what happens in the water cycle. From underground springs that feed rivers and lakes to ocean water, it all helps create the clouds that move water particles from place to place. The way water moves around changes the landscape, temperature, and climate all around the world, and readers learn how this much-needed cycle impacts their lives every day.

Heat and energy impacts all life on our planet. Energy from the sun helps plants grow and makes it possible for us to live on Earth at all, but the heat from inside Earth impacts us as well. There are many different kinds of rocks that make up Earths crust, and scientists now know how Earths energy forms and changes these rocks. Readers will learn about the volcanoes and lava that make igneous rocks, and how heating and cooling caused by energy in Earths core creates metamorphic rocks. Theyll also learn how water and other elements break down rocks to create sedimentary rocks and various rock formations all over the world.
