This bright, funny book tells the story of a cliff as it is gradually eroded by the sea, wind, rain and ice. The Science Works series uses cartoon style illustrations and lively narrative text to make key topics in science accessible and engaging.
Scorching days, cold nights, pouring rain, stormy winds and pounding waves – for thousands of years. It's enough to make even the hardest rocks crack up!
In this revised edition from Jacqui Bailey, we follow the story of what happens when a cliff is gradually eroded by the sea, wind, rain and ice. We find out how rocks from a cliff-face eventually become the grains of sand we find on the beach. This book also contains an experiment, more great facts to know, useful websites and an index.
Ideal for readers age 6+.
This is Book 6 in the Science Works Series. See all Science Works books here.
