"Waves, Tides And Currents"" - Hardcover

"The Sea" series investigates the world above and below the surface of the seas and the oceans. The books describe in detail the wildlife of the sea, how the seas were formed and why they are constantly changing, the latest developments in sea exploration and recent discoveries on the ocean floor. They also look at the sea as a source of food and minerals, examining the worldwide effects of overfishing and pollution, and suggesting the measures that need to be taken in order to save the sea and its wildlife for future generations. This particular book explains wave formation, tidal systems, deep water circulation and the effects of currents on climate. It discusses ways in which sea water can be harnessed to generate power, and how currents transport plants and animals, as well as examining the destructive potential of the sea.
