Description

A mountain can be thousands of feet high, but its height can change each year. This book explains how mountains are formed, including the story of Mount Everest's growth from a flat plain under an ocean to become 29,028 feet tall. The book features simple activities and cross-sections that show how the earth's crust moves over time. The text has been carefully checked by an expert in the field to ensure accuracy. This Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science title is designed for children who are learning about more complex science concepts in primary school, and it meets standards such as those set by the Common Core Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. The book includes fascinating illustrations that help to explain how mountains are made, making it a great choice for anyone interested in science and nature.
