Layers Of The Earth Wooden Puzzle – Great Stories, Earth Study – With Pdf Cards And Companion Guide | Mirus Toys New

Description

What Is Inside Our Beautiful Mother Earth? The Inside Is Dynamic, Everchanging And Mysterious.

Advances In Seismology Have Allowed Us To Learn A Great Deal About The Earth And The Many Layers That Make It Up.

Usual Puzzles Only Highlight The Standard Layers – Crust, Mantle And Core. Simple Enough? In Reality It Is Not That Simple. The Crust Is Not Uniform All Across – Oceanic Crust Is Different Than Continental Crust. The Mantle Is Not A Solid Layer; In Fact, It Is Anything But That. It Is Dynamic And Moving Every Second. New Mountains Are Being Formed By 2 Plates Colliding. Earthquakes And Volcanos Are Shaping New Landforms.

Every Day, Every Minute, Every Second, Our Fragile Earth Is Being Shaped By The Slow Dance Of The Crust.

This Puzzle Honors Our Beautiful Earth By Featuring All The Things That Make Up Our Current Landforms And The Future Ones. It Will Allow Your Child To Expand Their Geographical Knowledge, While Continuing To Refine And Develop Their Fine Motor Skills, Spatial Understanding, Concentration, And Sense Of Order.

Children Will Be Drawn To The Beautiful Colors Of The Puzzle Pieces And Will Enjoy The Sensorial Experience Of Feeling The Raised Surfaces Of The Puzzle Pieces.
