Green planet Earth

If you take a picture of the Earth from a satellite, it looks like a green planet.
The earth itself, the ground we walk on, usually looks peaceful and calm, but if I look deep inside the Earth, things are moving all the time like inside a living human body. Is it difficult to believe that the hard ground we step on is active and moving all the time? Let’s explore inside the Earth. Let’s find out what the Earth is made of; what underground activities cause volcano eruptions and earthquakes. Let’s also learn about the air that surrounds the Earth, and how the air flows over the surface of the Earth.

Summary

In the book, we will explore inside the Earth. We will dig into the earth and discover everything step by step. Inside the Earth, there are liquids. It is not like the ground that we step on. If you look deep inside the Earth, you can find out why volcano eruptions and earthquakes occur. Not only does the book teach us about inside the Earth, it also explores the air surrounding the Earth. You know that if the air we breathe flows fast, it becomes the wind, don’t you? Fast moving air even makes hurricanes and tornados. Let’s find out how wind can become so destructive and learn about some of the worst hurricanes and tornados in history.
It will make you cherish the ground below us and the air around us, and the Earth that contains both of them.
