Secrets de nos montagnes

Commencez votre voyage depuis le trottoir d'une ville animée. Sous vos pieds les égouts, les câbles électriques, mais aussi des vers de terre, des micro-organismes. Un peu plus loin de vestiges de nos ancêtres. Quel est ce bruit ? C'est le métro. Dessous une grotte et ses stalagmites montantes et ses stalactites qui descendent du plafond, accueille une rivière souterraine. Continuez à descendre pour trouver des roches comme le granit, du charbon et même du pétrole. Il commence à faire chaud, on se rapproche du magma terrestre pour atteindre le centre de la terre composé de métaux fondus. Et si on remontait maintenant ? Un trésor fait de cristaux, de diamants, d'améthyste, d'agate, d'or vous attend. Un peu plus haut du marbre, puis des fossiles. Des squelettes d'animaux préhistoriques laissent la place à des animaux vivants : les terriers des lapins, des renards et ceux des blaireaux. Retrouvez nos amis les vers de terre si importants pour aérer le sous-sol, et vous voici de retour dans la clairière d'un sous-bois, devant une taupinière.

La terre sous mes pieds

Commencez votre voyage depuis le trottoir d'une ville animée. Regardez au-delà des feux de signalisation, des câbles électriques et des gratte-ciels. Dépliez les pages pour révéler les incroyables objets que vous verriez à 20 kilomètres au-dessus (un ballon météo), à 50 kilomètres au-dessus (une fusée projetant une capsule dans l'espace), à 100 kilomètres au-dessus (un avion spatial et des satellites), 400 kilomètres au-dessus (la Station spatiale internationale), 380 000 kilomètres au-dessus (la Lune) et à travers notre système solaire. Tournez la page et recommencez votre voyage à travers les étonnantes merveilles naturelles que vous verriez 10000 kilomètres au-dessus (une comète), 85 kilomètres au-dessus (les météorites brûlant lorsqu'elles entrent dans l'atmosphère terrestre), 11 kilomètres au-dessus (un nuage cumulonimbus apportant le tonnerre et la foudre), 8 kilomètres au-dessus (cigognes en migration), et en bas à travers les montagnes, devant les arbres, les chauves-souris et les papillons pour enfin atteindre le sol à nouveau - cette fois dans une clairière herbeuse d'une forêt, où vous pouvez vous imaginer allongé sur le dos.

Le ciel au-dessus de ma tête
