Wind and Water (Vivi Loves Science)

Kimberly Derting, Shelli R

After a storm in their ocean-side town, Vivi and her classmate Graeme join volunteers cleaning debris from the beach. They notice that tide pools have disappeared and dunes have been flattened, prompting questions about how rain and storms can reshape a landscape. Ranger Earle explains erosion and the force of wind and water. Back at school, Vivi and Graeme share what they have learned with their teacher and classmates. The book also includes erosion experiments, a glossary, and examples of places, including caves and canyons, altered by wind and water.
