Sample Text
"Awesome. Majestic. Cool. These words and many more have been used to describe the natural wonder of mountains. For thousands of years, they have inspired stories and poetry, paintings and music, religious devotions, amazing athletic feats, and silent appreciation. Mountains cover nearly one-quarter of Earth's land surface. They are home to some people and a travel destination for others. They are a refuge for plants and animals. They affect weather and climate."

GEOGRAPHYGEOGRAPHY
"If it's about Earth's land, water, air, or living things-- particularly people-- it's geography. The word comes from the Greek "geo," which means "earth," and "graphy," which means "writing or description." Physical geographers study landforms, water, soil, climate, and the distribution of living things.
EARTHEARTH
"Spread out a map of the world. What you see on its depends on the kind of map you have. Does it show cities and countries? Mountains and valleys? Maybe weather patterns? The variety of features is so great that one map just can't handle it all. Earth is part of a nine-planet solar system within the Milky Way galaxy. Its size and location aren't very impressive. We inhabit the third planet. . . "
VOLCANOESVOLCANOES
"Volcanoes are like sleeping giants. After years, even centuries, of rest, they awake. They erupt. Some powerful eruptions blow tops off mountains, flatten forests, and dam up rivers. Some eruptions have killed tens of thousands of people. A few have buried cities, while others have buried mountains. Some big eruptions have even changed the world's weather for years. Volcanoes also shape the earth.. . . "
ROCKSROCKS
"Rocks are famous for staying put. If something is as "solid as a rock," you assume that it's not going to change or go anywhere. However, in reality, rocks are always changing and on the move. Nature's constant recycling of them can be seen in mountains, rivers, oceans, volcanoes, canyons, and earthquakes. Rocks come in about one hundred varieties. There are also approximately 3,500 minerals. . . "
