How The Oceans Work

How The Oceans Work by Dr. Lucia Perez-Diaz is a beautifully illustrated earth science book that invites curious readers to think like detectives as they explore our planet’s vast, lively seas. Blending clear explanations with eye-catching visuals, it shows why oceans matter—and why there’s still so much to uncover beneath the surface.

Travel from the oceans’ earliest beginnings through their changing shape over deep time, including the surprising mystery of why the oldest ocean floor is only about 200 million years old. Along the way, you’ll encounter underwater volcanoes, magnetic “stripes” on the seafloor, and clues left behind by ancient oceans, plus thoughtful connections to climate and life on our blue planet.

Perfect for young readers who love STEM, geography and nature, as well as families and classrooms seeking an engaging non-fiction read about oceans, plate tectonics and climate.
