What a Rock Can Reveal: Where They Come From And What They Tell Us About Our Planet
A stunningly illustrated, informative introduction to the wonders of rocks and minerals and what they can tell us about our planet. Starting with a friendly question-and-answer format, author Maya Wei-Haas walks explorers through the diversity of rocks and minerals and how a rock’s shape, color, or texture help to tell the stories of how it was formed, where it comes from, and the incredible journeys it has had. This hands-on introduction reveals how rocks are time capsules of our planet’s past, recording the thrilling events that once built Earth’s incredible geology.
