We set out on a journey of adventure and discovery
through Australia’s landscapes to test our knowledge.
Every Rock Has a Story - An A to Z of Australian Geology,
goes through the alphabet, answering that question with a plethora of valuable information
encompassed between its stunning covers and end pages.
Beneath each letter has a subject title. A Fact
box at the bottom contains historical and educational information that will amaze.
In the corner of the opposite page sits a map of Australia indicating the locations of each subject and the Aboriginal clans to which the area belongs.
Crater, Dolerite, Fossils, Opals, pink diamonds, volcanoes and extensive geological processes are all linked to some type of mineral or rock.
This book for older readers begins with the Artisan Basin, and pours forth amazing stories, ending at Zircon.
Anyone who has even the slightest interest in geology, or a passion for rocks can use this valuable resource to expand their knowledge and understanding of what Australia’s rich earth holds.
Readers' word knowledge and spelling will improve enormously with all the new language that is used to describe the focal points.
Beautiful designs on every page merge with stunning, elegant watercolour illustrations, showing intimate images of the movement of tectonic plates, and a look at the complex strata of the ground.
This interesting book finishes with an A-Z
Geological Features Around Australia; a descriptive Timeline of Eras,
and a comprehensive Glossary.
Ideal for Libraries, schools and home bookcases. A delight to view, read, gift and own!
