Explore the mighty Atlantic Ocean in this beautifully illustrated
children's book, for readers aged 9+ The huge Atlantic is Earth's
second biggest ocean. It straddles the equator, linking the North
and South America, Europe and Africa, and its waters vary from the
icy Baltic Sea to the warm Caribbean. Under the waves, the
Mid-Atlantic Ridge has helped form volcanic islands in the ocean
over the course of millions of years, including Iceland and the
Azores. The Atlantic provides us with a wealth of fish and other
natural resources, but today it is at great risk from overfishing
and pollution, as well as climate change. The oceans make up
Earth's biggest habitat. More than 70 per cent of Earth's surface
is covered by oceans and seas and they hold more than 97 per cent
of Earth's water supply. Oceans drive the world's weather, provide
half of the oxygen we breathe and provide food and livelihoods for
more than a billion people. Blue Worlds explores each of the
world's five oceans and major seas in detail, looking at the
different features - from wildlife and weather to landscape - that
make them all individual and unique. It also looks at the threats
that they face, such as global warming, overfishing and pollution.
