Exploremos las rocas sedimentarias (Exploring Sedimentary Rocks)

The rock cycle has been taking place for millions of years. However, geologists have only known about this phenomenon for about 300 years. Young terrestrial explorers are introduced to different types of rocks, where in the cycle these rocks fit, and where in Earth's layers each step takes place. Fact boxes provide readers with fun additional information. A diagram helps readers make sense of the new information they're learning.

When rocks change because of environmental conditions, the new rocks are called metamorphic rocks. A rock's chemical or physical makeup may change because of conditions such as temperature, stress, or pressure. Your readers will learn fascinating facts including where metamorphic rocks are most commonly found, the different types of metamorphism, and how metamorphic rocks are identified. Full-color photographs depict these rocks in nature. A helpful graphic organizer shows how these fascinating rocks form.

Los doce cuentos de este libro fueron escritos em el curso de los últimos dieciocho años. Antes de su forma actual, cinco de ellos periodísticas y guiones de cine, y uno fue un serial de televisión. Otro lo conté hace quince años en una entrevista grabada , y el amigo a quien se lo conté lo trancribió y lo publicó, y ahora lo he vuelto a escribir a partir de esa versión. Ha sido uma rara experiencia creativa que merece ser explicada, aunque sea para que los niños que quieren ser escritores cuando sean grandes sepan desde ahora qué insaciable y abrasivo es el vicio de escribir.
