Las ciencias de la Tierra: detectives de nuestro planeta (Earth Science Detectives)
Scientists are by nature detectives. They ask questions about how the world works and then follow clues to figure out the correct answer. The scientists who study Earth's geologic features, such as fossils, the rock cycle, volcanoes, and glaciers, are Earth detectives. Young readers can be Earth detectives, too, as they learn about what these features tell us about the Earth, how it was formed, and how it will continue to change in the future.
