Přehled zeměpisu - Planeta Země (nejen) pro školáky – Kolář Martin (2021)

Do you know how a tornado or a tsunami wave forms, where the most devastating earthquake of all time occurred, or why summer time was abolished in Russia? This geography overview will answer not only basic questions from physical geography but will also explain many other phenomena related to the natural aspects of our planet in an understandable way. You will find the most important facts about the universe, the basic movements of the Earth and their consequences, the movements and shape of the Moon, time zones, what a map is, and how geographical location is determined. It describes in detail the individual natural spheres from the lithosphere to the biosphere. You will look beneath the ocean's surface, into the Earth's fiery core, and into a volcanic crater, as well as to the highest mountain range in the world and the lowest point on the Earth's surface. For example, you will learn which waterfall is the highest in the world and where you can observe the Northern Lights, where to find penguins, what types of glaciers we distinguish, and why Máchovo Lake is not a real lake... Everything is accompanied by clear tables with records of individual continents and illustrative color images. The overview is compact, so you can easily pack it into your school bag, taking up almost no space. It will be appreciated primarily by students in the second stage of elementary schools and multi-year gymnasiums, but also by those who love geography and want to refresh their knowledge.
