Water

Find out about the amazing power of water in this key non-fiction text. Discover how this compound is essential for life on Earth, and yet can also cause massive destruction.

Our planet is ruled by four “elements”: earth, air, fire and water. Mountains rumble, hurricanes whirl, wildfires eat up the landscape, and tsunamis sweep away cities – nothing is safe from their power. However, we also can’t live without them. We breathe air, drink water, build houses on the earth and keep those houses warm with fire. The Elemental Earth series teaches readers all about how the cycles of our planet can be destructive – and also the ways in which we can harness them.
