Summary
Splash! Let Tim and Moby introduce you to Earth’s oceans! After finding out just how much of the planet is covered in water, you’ll learn all about our world ocean. Figure out once and for all what the difference is between seas and ocean — or at least what oceanographers think about it. Find out what makes an inland sea and learn how the ocean can affect the temperature of the land. You’ll also learn about the five great oceans, as well as smaller oceans and a bit of the history of ocean-naming. First one in the water’s a rotten egg!
