Rivers, Lakes, and Oceans

By Gretel H. Schueller

Water covers more than 70 percent of Earth's surface, and all of it is connected in the never-ending water cycle. A substance that can cut through solid rock, destroy cities, sculpt mountains and coastlines, and affect climate, water is a mighty force in nature. The power of moving water, such as in rivers, changes Earth's landscape, creating valleys and deep canyons over time. In Rivers, Lakes, and Oceans , follow the nonstop journey of water as it rushes along in rivers and streams, travels beneath the ground, rests in lakes, crashes against coastlines, and flows into the ocean.
