Did you know that our planet Earth is a fascinating place? It's home to a variety of amazing creatures and phenomena, and there are so many things to learn about it! In this article, we're going to explore some interesting facts about our planet that are focused on percentages.

First, did you know that 40% of volcanoes on Earth are active? That means that they are still erupting and creating new landforms. On the other hand, 60% of volcanoes are not active, which means that they are dormant and not likely to erupt in the future.

Next, let's talk about earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, which are large slabs of rock that make up the Earth's crust. When these plates move, they can cause the ground to shake and tremble, which can be very dangerous. Earthquakes are measured on a scale called the Richter scale, which ranges from 1 to 10. A higher Richter scale number means that the earthquake was more powerful.

Another topic that we're going to explore is habitats. Habitats are the places where animals and plants live. There are many different types of habitats on Earth, including forests, deserts, oceans, and tundra. Each habitat has its own unique characteristics, such as the types of plants and animals that live there and the climate that surrounds it.

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and the air we breathe are some of the topics covered in this exciting new way of exploring how our planet works. By understanding the different components that make everything whole, we can better appreciate the world around us and the role that we play in preserving it.

The series combines the visual style of infographics with their striking way of presenting facts and figures, alongside in-depth explanations and diagrams. It is a fun approach to science, leaving behind long lists of facts and presenting information in a relevant and easy-to-understand way.

Other topics covered in the series are the human body, our living planet, energy and fuel, people and places, forces and matter, space and time. This series is perfect for readers aged 9 and up, and it will help them to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

So, what are you waiting for? Start exploring the fascinating world of Earth through the lens of percentages today!
