Describes the water cycle, how rivers flow from source to the sea, the plant and animal life supported by rivers, how humans use rivers, and some of the world's longest rivers. ...
Young students are given rudimentary information about the formation, flow and shape of rivers, in a clear and concise manner making what might be a complex subject more accessible. Illustrations and charts are supplemented by bright and interesting photographs. The student will learn that rivers often provide drinking water, irrigation for crops, environments for many species and areas for recreation. A simple explanation along with illustrations shows how a hydroelectric power station uses the movement of water to generate electricity. The chapter headed "A River's Journey" details the path of a river from the source to the sea and readers will become familiar with terms such as "tributary" and "meander." The use of such words, along with the corresponding illustrations, does a great job of introducing the correct terms to youngsters. Of course, the book also contains a glossary, along with a list of facts about rivers and suggestions for further research. This book is part of the "Geography First" series. 2004, Blackbirch Press/Thomson Gale, Ages 6 to 8.
