Content
The North Sea and Wadden Sea mud flats are a World Heritage Site and offer a unique environment that children can directly observe. At the same time, the North Sea boasts more shipping traffic than any other sea in the world, and is the site of oil drilling platforms and giant wind parks that provide energy. Nature and the ways human beings use it for our own purposes are closely related here. All these themes are addressed in this book, in terms children can understand. In the fun way typical of this series, a great deal of information is conveyed: What might you find on the beach? Why is seawater salty? Why are there waves? Why does the sea seem to disappear? What makes the little islands in the Wadden Sea? What are dunes? Do islands float in the sea?
