Explores causes of both quick and slow changes to the Earth's surface, including earthquakes and erosion.
The Earth's Changing Surface
1. Mapping Earth's Surface 2. Weathering and Soil Formation 3. Erosion and Deposition 4. A Trip Through Geologic Time
Geomorphologists have recently switched their attention from the processes that create land forms on a small scale to far broader processes involving tectonic and climatic changes on a global scale....
How does that work? Why? These fun science books answer kids' questions about the world around them--and encourage them to ask more.

Earth's Changing Surface: Student reference book
he world we live in has not always looked the way it does today. Over time, processes including erosion, ice ages and climate change have greatly altered the Earths surface.
The book poses questions about how our planet's past can tell us about its future, how landscapes record climate and tectonics, and how Earth surface science can contribute to developing a sustainable living surface for future generations.
