Editorial Reviews

A little over 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by the ocean. Read the information about the relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere. Brief chapters cover how climate changes are warming the oceans and describe the impact the changes are affecting the environment. In one chapter, there are some ideas presented to help conserve the environment. Another chapter contains an activity to examine how reflected light affects temperature. Color illustrations fill the pages. There are inserts with facts and ideas that could be a spring board for further discussion. The words found in the glossary are not highlighted in the main text of the book. Those children looking for specific information may find the index helpful. In addition, there is a publisher web site that provides links to related information; however, finding specific information for the topic is slow and indirect. Students may need to explore additional resources for further details. This book is part of the "Climate Change" series designed to provide an introductory explanation about global warming.
