Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how can complex scientific topics be easily explained to your toddlers? Have you always wanted to help your children become broad-minded and intelligent people with a solid scientific understanding of the world? "The Earth for Toddlers" book series helps you communicate interesting and important topics from the various disciplines of Earth sciences that would help you and your kids understand how the biggest system we know functions - the Earth! What is the solid earth we live on made of? What makes the ocean's move? Why does climate change and how does the atmosphere actually "work"? How can continents move and why volcanoes erupt? How do we know the age of the Earth and the rocks it is made of? All these questions and more are explained and discussed in a simple and straight-forward approach that would make it crystal clear to you and your toddlers.
In "Earth's climate for toddlers", we explain how the global circulation of air in the atmosphere of planet Earth createsdistinct climate zones with different temperatures and precipitation regimes. The atmosphere operates as a massive air conditioning system, powered by solar energy. It moves energy and water across the surface of our planet, thus supporting the rich diversity of lifeforms on our planet. In this book you will find simple explanations and exquisite illustrations that
demonstrate how the large-scale movement of air through Earth's atmosphere give rise to its different climate zones. The book was carefully designed to meet the scientific standards and is illustrated with exquisite and original artwork. It also comes with a lexicon at the end, for those of you who wish to get a more detailed explanation on the key topics presented in the book. We are certain that you would enjoy it! About us: We are a couple of geologists and the lucky parents of two amazing and curious children. We have both acquired multiple academic degrees in Earth sciences, geology, environmental sciences, and hydrology. Gal works primarily with stable isotopes of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon, whereas Yoav uses different tools to address geological and environmental challenges. We believe that introducing scientific concepts at a young age is crucial for raising intelligent and inquisitive children, and have established The Earth for Toddlers book series so you can do so as well.
