Adventures in Earth Sciences is an immersive
encounter with more than 15 natural processes that take place on our planet and
beyond. Why are there four seasons in a year? How does the ozone layer protect
life on Earth? What kind of displays light up our skies? Dig up fossils that
take us back in time. Travel to the edge of a whirlpool. And journey to the
heart of the sun. From parched deserts to the freezing tundra, from ocean
depths to starry heights, and from tiny rocks to gas giants in space, explore
the workings of our amazing universe as never before!
