Earth's Surface Written by Rhonda Lucas Donald

《地球表面》朗达·卢卡斯·唐纳德著

Introduction Earth is your home. Earth's surface is where you live and play. You can run in a field or ride a bike on the sidewalk. You can jump into the water and swim.

地球是你的家。 地球表面是你生活和玩耍的地方。 你可以在田野里跑步或在人行道上骑自行车。 你可以跳进水里游泳。

Look at Earth's surface from space. The brown and green patches are land. The blue areas are water. Which do you think makes up more of Earth's surface, land or water? All living things depend on Earth's land and water. You do, too!

从太空看地球表面。 棕色和绿色的斑块是陆地。 蓝色区域是水。你认为陆地和水哪个占地球表面的比例更大? 所有生物都依赖地球上的土地和水。 你也是!

Land Earth is called a rocky planet. The land is mostly made of rock. Rocks are hard chunks of Earth materials. What else makes up Earth's land?

陆地地球被称为岩质行星。 土地主要由岩石构成。 岩石是地球物质的硬块。 还有什么构成了地球的土地?

Soil is also part of Earth's surface. Without soil, most plants could not grow. Soil is mostly tiny bits of rock. Those tiny bits come from big rocks that break down over time. Bits of dead plants and animals also get mixed in, along with water.

土壤也是地球表面的一部分。 没有土壤，大多数植物不能生长。 土壤主要是小块的岩石。 这些微小的碎片来自于随着时间的推移而分解的大石头。 一些死去的植物和动物也混入其中，还有水。

Earth's land has many shapes. Some land is flat, like on a farm. Some land is pointed, reaching high into the sky to make huge mountains. Caves and canyons are also part of Earth's surface. Do You Know? There are mountains and canyons under the oceans. The tallest mountain on Earth is Mauna Kea, in Hawaii. But most of it is underwater! Only the top part sticks out above the water.

地球上的陆地有许多形状。 有些土地是平坦的，就像农场一样。 有些土地是尖的，高耸入云，形成巨大的山脉。 洞穴和峡谷也是地球表面的一部分。 你知道吗?海洋下面有山脉和峡谷。 地球上最高的山是夏威夷的莫纳克亚山。 但大部分都在水下!只有顶部露出水面。
