Rivers of Sunlight: How the Sun Moves Water around the Earth

Rivers of Sunlight traces water’s ongoing movement around Earth and the sun’s role in that cycle. It explains how water changes among liquid, vapor, and ice, and considers how solar energy moves ocean currents and lifts fresh water from the seas. The book also addresses the balance of Earth’s water systems, how that balance is changing, and what people can do to conserve water. Bold illustrations and detailed back matter accompany the narrative.
