Without seas and oceans, we would not survive. But where did all this water come from? What does it do? Why do we need it?This fascinating guide to the world's oceans combines fact-packed, easy-to-read text with colorful and quirky illustrations. | The Science Of Oceans: The Watery Truth About 72 Percent Of Our Planet's Surface (the Science Of The Earth) by Fiona MacDonald, Paperback
