The tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest! 🌍 It's so high that it touches the sky! 🚀 People climb it, but it's very cold and windy up there. ❄️
Mount Everest is in a place called the Himalayas, between two countries: Nepal and China. 🗺️
Rivers start when tiny drops of water from rain or melting snow come together! 🌧️ They flow down hills and mountains, joining other little streams. The more water they collect, the bigger they grow, just like a river! 🏞️
Rivers love to travel and can go very far, sometimes all the way to the ocean! 🌊
Some rocks have shiny crystals inside because they were made very slowly deep underground! 🌍✨ When hot melted rock (called magma) cools down over a long time, tiny crystals grow inside it like magic. The slower it cools, the bigger the crystals!
Imagine making ice cubes—if you freeze water slowly, you get big ice cubes. But if you freeze it fast, they stay small. Rocks with crystals are like that too!
Animals talk in their own special ways! 🐶 Some use sounds like barks, meows, or roars. Others use their bodies, like wagging tails or flapping wings. Some even use smells to say "hello" or "this is my home!" 🌿
For example, dogs wag their tails when happy, and bees dance to show where flowers are! 🐝
Some trees lose their leaves in autumn 🍂 because it gets too cold for them! They take a little nap until spring comes. 🌸 Other trees, like pine trees, keep their leaves all year because their leaves are like little green needles that don’t mind the cold! ❄️
It’s like how you wear a coat in winter, but some animals have fur all the time!
Animals live in different places because their bodies are made for those places! 🐠 Some animals, like fish, have fins and gills to breathe underwater. They love swimming all day! 🏊♂️
Other animals, like dogs and cats, have legs and lungs to breathe air. They can run and play on land! 🐕
Some places get more rain because they are near big water like oceans or lakes! 🌊 The sun warms the water, and tiny drops go up into the sky to make clouds. When clouds get too heavy, they drop the water as rain! 🌧️ Some places have mountains that catch the clouds and make it rain a lot. Other places are far from water, so they don't get much rain.
Fun fact: The wettest place on Earth is Mawsynram in India, where it rains almost every day! 🌧️😊
The deepest part of the ocean is called the Mariana Trench 🌊! It's like a super-deep hole in the ocean floor, deeper than the tallest mountain on Earth! 🏔️
If you dropped a rock there, it would take a long time to reach the bottom. It's so deep that even sunlight can't reach it! 🌑
Some animals move to new places when the weather changes! 🐦 They fly or walk far away to find food or a warm home. Just like when you wear a coat in winter, animals need to find cozy places too!
For example, birds fly south when it gets cold, and then come back when it's warm again. 🌞
Some animals have horns to protect themselves from other animals who might want to hurt them. 🦏 They also use horns to fight with other animals of the same kind, like when two deer push their heads together! 🌿
Horns can also help animals dig in the ground or break branches to find food. Isn't that cool? 😊
