624 R 947 C Why Do Earthquakes Happen?
Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s crust moves or collides. The Earth’s surface is made up of large pieces called tectonic plates, which slowly move all the time. Sometimes, these plates push against each other or slide past one another. When the pressure becomes too great, the plates suddenly ...

563 R 825 C Why Do Deserts Form?
Deserts are dry and sandy places with very little rain. They form in areas where almost no water reaches the ground. Without rain, plants cannot grow well, and only sand and rocks remain. Most deserts are found in places where dry winds blow and push away clouds. Without clouds, there is no rain,...

817 R 1332 C Why Are the North and South Poles Always Frozen?
The North Pole and South Pole are the coldest places on Earth. They stay frozen because they do not receive much heat from the Sun. This happens because sunlight reaches them at a slanted angle instead of shining directly. Near the equator, the Sun is high in the sky, and its light is strong. How...

795 R 1288 C How Is Sand Made?
Sand is made when rocks break down into tiny grains over a long period of time. This happens because of water, wind, and temperature changes that slowly wear away the surface of rocks. When rainwater enters small cracks in a rock, it can freeze and expand, causing the rock to break apart. Rivers ...

888 R 1474 C Why Do Seasons Change?
Seasons change because Earth is tilted as it orbits the Sun. Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. This tilt causes different parts of Earth to receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. As Earth moves around the Sun, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres take turn...

766 R 1231 C Do Rivers Flow Under the Sea?
It may seem strange, but rivers can flow under the ocean. These underwater rivers form because of differences in salinity (salt levels) in the water. When seawater with different salt concentrations meets, the denser, saltier water sinks while the fresher water stays on top. This creates a separate ...
