Some mysteries have already been solved, while others still need to be worked on. This book will tell you about how our Earth works, why mountains grow, why tsunamis and volcanic eruptions occur, when they began to study the currents of the World Ocean, what the biosphere is, where continents float. You will also learn what types of clouds there are and what causes thunderstorms, how sailors used bottle mail and why islands, peninsulas, continents and parts of the world got their names.
