Science in Focus: The Earth's Resources

Product Description

Science in Focus is a broad-based science series that answers these questions and many more. It gives a clear introduction to curriculum topics and is an easy reference tool for research. The clear, well-written text is generously illustrated with large colour photographs and diagrams. Fact and History boxes extend the information, and Evidence boxes suggest practical investigative activities.

The Earth's Resources looks at the many different types of natural resources, and how people make use of them, including:
* water, from the vital role fresh water plays in sustaining life to the problems of water conservation and pollution
* minerals and metals and their various uses
* renewable resources, such as biomass, solar, geothermal and hydropower, and their importance as non-renewable resources run out.
